I saw this on the RCM YouTube channel but currently for MC Platinum Plus members only so I can't view it on their website.
What is the price and mintage for this one?
The description of the process is:
One of the biggest challenges of minting a story is the limited space upon which each tale can be told. But our R&D researchers have found a way to unlock more design space than ever, by extending the engraving inside the coin. This is multilayered engraving, our latest ground-breaking innovation, which makes its world debut on a low-mintage prototype. Marked by the R&D logo on the obverse, the piedfort-like piece re-imagines the $2 circulation coin as multilayered art, with a top plate that cuts away to the landscape engraved within. The polar bear image is the perfect match for our latest advanced minting process, which allows us to go deeper into detail and reveal a hidden dimension of the story. It represents the future of storytelling on our coins—a future by design.
This coin has long been sold out on the RCM. I'm a platinum plus member and I didn't get any notification on this coin. I got lucky and managed to purchase one from a dealer at a slightly higher price. Thanks to a fellow coincommunity member.
