I doubt the RCM will ever really tell us.
The RCM has been doing this convoluted thing of showing mintages that are anything but specific;
I believe mintages published (and I could be wrong here) are for coins minted or distributed during the calendar year - not year shown on the coin.
This means that "2023" coins could have a stamped year from one or more prior.
As another example, I would wager the 'black' toonie has a LOT higher mintage than most people realize;
These were still being minted when I was at the Winnipeg mint in late summer 2023 - I can just about guarantee that those will be included in the "2023" mintages.
Sorry to be so cynical.
