Extra-Thick-$2-Twoonie


Looks like the 1996 Proof $2 Piedfort. Sterling silver and the inner core is covered with 24k gold. Qty 15,000 minted with note sets.

I agree that the specs seem contradictory but perhaps the eye is deceived here.I have a piedfort myself and, as I said, I reproduced something exactly like the original scan.

The specs on the COA does say 4.5mm, so Charlton likely quoted an incorrect thickness.
