DETAILED DESCRIPTION:

This is the 1976 Royal Canadian Mint Proof-Like (PL) Set — a complete six-coin collection in the superior PL finish, housed in its original RCM packaging. A 50-year-old collector set from the heart of the mid-1970s — a fascinating era in Canadian numismatic history and a nostalgic piece of Canadiana.

The RCM's annual Proof-Like sets were the primary collector offering of the era — produced exclusively for numismatists and never intended for general circulation. Each coin is struck on specially prepared planchets with polished dies, yielding the characteristic mirrored fields and frosted devices that give PL coins their distinctive visual appeal and superior surface quality compared to standard circulation strikes. At 50 years old, a well-preserved 1976 PL set retains a beautiful vintage lustre that speaks to the quality of RCM production in this period.

The 1976 set is notable for its one-cent coin struck in bronze — the traditional copper-toned composition used on the Canadian penny since Confederation — as well as five coins in 100% nickel, all bearing the iconic Canadian reverse designs that defined the series for decades. The obverse features the second portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Arnold Machin — the elegant, tiara-adorned effigy used on Canadian coinage from 1965 through 1989 — a portrait that many consider the most graceful of all Canadian royal effigies.

Set Contents:
— 1¢ Maple twig (bronze) | 5¢ Beaver (nickel) | 10¢ Bluenose (nickel)
— 25¢ Caribou (nickel) | 50¢ Coat of Arms (nickel) | $1 Voyageur (nickel)
