# 148 - Aviation Commemoratives - Part 1
The Royal Canadian Mint issued this series of $20 coins to commemorate Canada's aviation heroes and achievments.
The series consists of ten coins issued two per year over five years, starting in 1990 and going to 1994.
For the first time each coin design contains a 24-karat gold covered oval cameo portrait of the aviation hero commemorated.
All the coins were issued in Proof quality with silver purity of 92.5% and each coin weights 1oz.
The aluminum case, in the shape of a wing, is made from recycled Canadian airplanes.
Coin #1 shows the Avro Anson. Air Marshal Robert Leckie, (1890 – 1975) was an air officer in the Royal Air Force and the Chief of the Air Staff of the Royal Canadian Air Force from 1944 to 1947.
This series will continue very soon.

Thank you for reading. Please comment, upvote, resteem and advise me.
This looks beautiful. I like the case and I can't wait to see the rest of the set. Keep it coming.
Thank you for the visit. You are very welcome.
Second everything @summertooth said. When I first looked at this the case wowed me, and those coins are stunning. Such a cool set.
It is a pity that RCM has not a place on its site that explains every commemorative they issue. It would make my life so easier...
They pump out so many commemorative, the RCM. Their designs are fantastic.
The only problem is that you must be a millionaire to buy all the issues...
