Over the course of making and remaking our dies — sometimes due to ultra-fine flaws invisible to the untrained eye — we continued enhancing the sculpt of the Arrow. Each revision pushed the detail further, until even the canopy windows, individual actuators, and surface paneling on the aircraft’s upper fuselage were crisply defined. We can’t overstate how much time and care went into this sculpt.

Our current Arrow coin features selective gold plating on the maple leaf laurels and a printed overlay for the Arrow’s iconic white fuselage. However, due to the density of white ink, many of those hard-won surface details get obscured. To properly showcase them — and to honour the test pilots of the Arrow — we knew we needed to find a new, special way to present the full depth of the design.

Once the website is fully complete and we are ready to launch, collectors will be able to purchase one of these coins for immediate shipping. Each coin will be priced at $206.00 CAD plus shipping and handling.

What truly drives us is offering collectors something special — the ability to say, “I own RL-322. Check out this packaging!” That personal connection to a uniquely serialized piece of Canadian history is what we strive to deliver. As soon as this coin is added to our catalogue and we open up ordering, we’ll be ready to go.

Until then, please know we are working tirelessly, around the clock, to bring every element of this mint into full operation. We’re not just selling pre-made coins or packaging — we are making each coin from scratch, plating them in-house, individually serializing each one, printing custom display slabs, assembling packaging, and handling all fulfillment ourselves.

As a small, independent Canadian mint, we take immense pride in our craft and our mission: to honour our national culture and preserve the legacy of the Arrow — a symbol of how Canada once led the world in military aerospace innovation.
