Quiet end of a Canadian coin run?

    The low mintage sets produced by the Royal Canadian Mint, with a token in place of the 50-cent coin and sold at four conventions (RCNA, ANA, World Fair of Money, and Beijing International Coin Expo).

    The sets started in 2010 with the Beijing Coin Exo and through 2011, a token was produced in place of the 5-cent.

    Then, in 2012, the sets were made with the mint token replacing the 50-cent coin

    The set hardest to find is the Beijing 2010 set, it was the only set made for 2010. The sets from 2011 to 2013 were limited to a mintage of 500 per show set. It looks like the run of this very limited edition coin set is now over, and the RCM is producing privy mark Silver Maple Leaf coins instead...

    I don't collect bullion, so it is somewhat sad to see a series (with each set limited to 500 coins) come to an abrupt end.
