To aid in the numerous coin manufacturing processes, the Royal Canadian Mint test tokens are struck for the various stages of production. In fact the first test tokens date back to 1907. Test tokens are utilized in areas such as die and die coating testing, plating process modifications, dimensional testing, material tolerance, edge profile, coin collars, conformity of the electro - magnetic signature of the coin amongst others.Only twice before have test tokens been officially sold by the Royal Canadian Mint Ð in 1996 to commemorate the introduction of the $2 coin, and in 2000 to commemorate the introduction of the new plated coins. This set includes the 1,5,10 cent and $1, and $2 test tokens. It also includes the colorized poppy test token (25 cent) and the actual colorized 25-cent coin.
