20 Dollars - Elizabeth II Hologram colored GML fractional set, 1⁄2 oz

The 1999 fractional gold hologram series was the Royal Canadian Mint's first venture into combining holographic technology with bullion coinage — an aggressive pitch to the collector market at a moment when the RCM was aggressively diversifying beyond its Maple Leaf bullion program. The hologram was applied to the reverse field, a technically demanding process that required separate die preparation and made restrikes impractical.

The complete set sold out quickly through authorized distributors, and individual fractional pieces rarely surface outside their original packaging.
