That’s fairly standard for those fancy coins from what I gather.

Why not?
They made stuff for DC comics and Star Trek, it’s neat to see Transformers be ‘worthy’ of that treatment.

WoW. I would have liked this set.
Wish I would have been aware of it back in 2013.
But, even then, I'd be hesitating and unsure 'cos of the price...

It's written in the links, there are several connections to Canada, one of the big ones being that Peter Cullen was born and raised in Montreal, Canada.

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers coins
Finally a TF coin that's actually worth something. Take that Takara! :P
Ordered the "transforming" one.

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers Coins
I'm not up on the current IDW artists... is the art by one of them? The info only says who did the reverse side Queen art (unless I misread it?).

Sara Pitre-Durocher did the face side. She's one of IDW's main artists right now.

I remember it was a pretty big deal when they first did the superman coins. I was driving around hunting them down to complete the set.

Awesome.
If they wrote the Queen's name in Cybertronian like Optimus, I probably would be amused enough to buy one already... As is... Still considering...

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers Coins
I was just about to buy the cheaper coin when thought why not take a look at the more expensive coin? I was blown away by that coin's glowing eyes and detail.
When I looked back at the cheaper coin, I now strangely found it wanting.
Didn't buy the cheaper coin yet.

The art comes from Marcello Matere, a current vancouver resident, who is behind a lot of the packaging art since armada. Sarah coloured it.

O.k. then, that will teach me to do my research. I'm glad the Canadian mint actually has a rationale for this that includes how it is linked to Canada. I may have to get it now.

I can't find her name linked to these coins anywhere...
Can you cite your source? It might make the difference whether I buy them or not... thanks :)

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers Coins
Can u imagine the serious boardroom discussions to select the subject and green light such a coin? Jim wants to do Thomas but sally wants Barbie or Paw Patrol. What about Super Mario or PAC-man? People love video games. Nah, maybe we should honour classic toys like Slinky or Monopoly with real money.

Oh, I'm in on these!
This means, though, I'm now definitely out on Haslabicron.

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers Coins
Received my Lenticular coins today. (I bought 2)
Pretty pretty. Haven't opened the package though.
Not sure if I need to.
side note: I know someone who also got the coins, including the $25 Silver Coin. Told me she got #1300-something (out of the 3,500 minted).

My spouse bought me an early Christmas present, I asked for the 25 cent coin. I liked that one best.

These were available at FanExpo, the Royal Canadian Mint had a booth there or was it Canada Post, anyways it was a federal institution. Very cool, nice to know there is a connection to Canada.

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers Coins
If anyone is looking to pick up the coins while also getting their actual fix of Transformers toys, TFTOYS.CA is carrying them at the same price as the Mint. Also available for pickup if you'll be at any of the western Comic Expos next month (Red and White in Calgary, SaskExpo in Saskatoon, Edmonton Expo)
