In addition to the reverse-proof finish, they showcase the famous Walter Ott Maple Leaf Design with super-incused engravings that sit 1.5 mm below the coin’s surface, which means nearly 40% of the coin's gauge.

They were also purchased from the Royal Canadian Mint on the first day of their official release and submitted to NGC certification.

An NGC PF-70 “First Day of Issue” Coin

Like other third-party services, NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Company) appraises and grades coins using the Sheldon Scale, which ranges from 1 to 70.

For NGC, a “First Day of Issue” coin is a sample purchased from its original mint on the first day of its official release and submitted to its appraisal.

PF stands for Proof Coin, indicating a coin produced for collection purposes. Because it is a reverse-proof coin, the background surfaces are matte, contrasting with the brilliant images engraved on it. 70 is the highest grade and indicates a coin with no visible flaws.
