This portrait was replaced the following year, making 2003 a significant transitional year for RCM collectors.

The background features clean satin fields flanked by the "9999" purity guarantee.  Condition & Packaging Notes: Factory Packaging: Beautifully preserved and entirely intact inside its authentic, original Royal Canadian Mint (RCM) factory-sealed clear cellophane pocket. The original soft plastic wrapper remains uncompromised, protecting the surfaces from scratches and airborne tarnishing agents.  Surface & Patina: Pristine, choice uncirculated condition beneath the protective mint plastic. The surfaces exhibit full, bright white satin mint luster with crisp definition on the fine leaf veins and peripheral lettering. Free of fingerprints, contact marks, or distracting milk spots.
