To be honest, never see this set, limited to 500 sets? COA seems fake. Coins are just regular.

Looks like a gift from the mint, maybe to employess or other people. Just a guess

Yes, it's a set given to mint employees. Notice, there is one of each general type of coin made by the mint:
Canadian circulation: Olympic Lucky Loonie
NCLT: Hologram Olympic $25
Bullion: SML
Foreign: 50c Fiji

Yes. But it would only be a big deal if it had unique coins. This one had coins anyone could get. Compare that to the 2000p 50 cent. That was only released embedded in desk clocks given out by the mint. Less than 250 I think. |

Picked it up for $70, seems like an OK buy.

I still think this is a unique set. Maybe you can call the RCM and see if they have anymore information or a brochure. It's worth a try. |

Mixed feelings.
Rare but I don't see the case and the piece of paper, which are the only 2 things that are different in this "set", as worth the extra money
