Description

A rare internal-release presentation set celebrating the success of 2009 and the legacy of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.

🪙 Why Collect This Set?

This is far more than a coin set—it’s a documented piece of Royal Canadian Mint history. The combination of employee exclusivity, preserved executive signatures, Olympic-era silver, and original wooden packaging makes it exceptionally desirable among advanced collectors. Sets with intact letters and signatures are especially scarce, placing this well above standard Olympic or silver issues in collectability and narrative value.
