4. Bi-metallic 2 Dollar 2010 from Canada.......by Frans Woons, Canada Attached you’ll find
images of the 2010 Canadian Bi-metallic 2 Dollar 2010 in the
quality “specimen”. The Bi-metallic almost
seems like an “anti-proof”; i.e., the relief (e.g., the queen’s
portrait) is shiny while the fields are matte. This in contrast
to proof coins where the relief is matte and the fields are shiny. I hope to be able soon to send you images of the proof Canadian 2010 $ 2 Bi-metallic. This coin is struck in sterling silver with a gold-plated core. 5. Bi-metallic 2 Pound
