proof coin
Specially struck currency
A proof coin is a specially minted coin struck multiple times with polished dies on polished blanks, producing a mirror-like finish and sharp detail.
Proofs are made for collectors rather than circulation: The mint released a limited proof coin set for the anniversary.
The term proof refers to the minting process, not the metal content or denomination.
