The set includes two 2-ounce coins and three 1-ounce coins, one of which has 12 sides to mimic the penny's shape from 1982 to 1997—all beautifully enhanced with selective pink gold plating to mimic the penny's copper colour.

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 10/25/2016 10:01 pm The Canadian 1-cent coin was given a proper 'Farewell' in 2012, including a really nice 5-coin silver set just like this one... This 2017 set minted a mere 5 years later is priced at over three times the original 2012 five silver coin set. I think it is sad that the RCM is resorting to this sort sales tactic and gimmick... Are we going to see another "legacy" set in 2022 with a $2400 price tag? I collect small cents, I have some rare ones in high grades. With the exception of some scarce pre-1967 specimen strikes, I have almost all of the NCLT 1-cent coins that were struck, right up to 2012, when we said 'Farewell'... However, I will not be buying this set.
