R&D SECURITY TEST TOKEN SET

7th set of the Test Token Sets series.

 A special preview of the new MC4. Designed for maximum visual impact, the MC4 (Multi-Component Composite Circulation Coin) combines four different components: an outer ring, a polymer separator and an inner core plated with two differentalloys. The use of a black, white, and even a clear polymer ring opens up the possibility of integrating more colour and more materials than ever before.
 Actual test specimens. These six tokens come directly from the Royal Canadian Mint’s R&D facility in Winnipeg, where they were used in calibration and laboratory testing.
 Multi-security features. On the first five tokens, the base design (seen on Token 6) has been enhanced with an array of integrated features (microtext, latent images, embossing) that take security to a whole new level without detracting from the art.
 Sleek packaging. Sealed in Mylar, all six tokens are enclosed in an envelope and accompanied by a tent card with specifications, as well as a special note from the Chief Technology Officer at the Royal Canadian Mint.
