| Reverse description | A bold, selectively colorized foreground figure of Superman dominates the central reverse field, rendered in vivid comic-book style with his iconic blue costume, red cape, and yellow S-shield emblem. Behind him, a starburst or speech-bubble motif frames the scene, with monochrome depictions of additional DC Comics characters — including Batman, Wonder Woman, and others — receding into the background field in classic legacy composition. The denomination 10 DOLLARS arcs along the upper rim, with the date 2015 inscribed directly below, and a DC copyright mark appears in the lower right field. The combination of selective color application and fine silver relief creates a striking contrast between the vibrant foreground hero and the subdued background ensemble. |

| Additional information |
The DC Comics Originals series, launched by the Royal Canadian Mint in 2015, was part of a broader push by sovereign mints to court collector demographics outside traditional numismatics — a strategy that proved commercially effective but remains controversial among purists. The "Legacy" release in this series featured colorized printing directly on the coin surface, a technique the RCM had been refining since its early colorized maple leaf issues of the late 1990s.
Four reference numbers across two catalog systems suggest this piece was issued in multiple configurations or packaging variants within the same release year.
