I like the ""An Alegory" coin series idea - I skipped the bronze one - It was too costly if you ask me. I did get the Silver one though

Nothing showing up still on the web site. I guess they mean allegory literally. :)

Anyone notice the 1 Oz bronze Allegory coin is 19.2g on specification? 1oz or 1/2oz?

19.2g makes no sense as it's a few grams heavier than 1/2oz. It's more like a bronze mystery coin.

It bares a resemblance to this one:

Not exactly the same but similar. The female allegory on the new coin is 'Miss Canada' which was apparently an iconic Canadian image from the late 1800's Never heard of her before but I guess as a proud Canadian I should have...

Haven't heard of Miss Canada before, but apparently there were some very interesting and funny cartoons from the 1800s.

I found some here:

It is one ounce. The title of the coin is "1 oz Bronze Coin - Canada: An Allegory (2013)".

The specifications page is wrong.

But yes, not much metal value in that one. About a quarters worth.
