The name of the Specimen Set between 1971 and 1981. One of the two seven-coin sets introduced in 1971 by the Royal Canadian Mint (the other being the Prestige Set), it contained two one-cent pieces as well as a five-, ten-, twenty-five-, and fifty-cent pieces and a nickel dollar. The extra coin displayed the obverse (head side). First singly-struck, then double-struck after 1977, the coins were housed in a leather-covered rectangular case. In 1981, the "Custom Set" was renamed the "Specimen Set" and became a six-coin set once, with the appearance of capsules and newly designed cases, it became possible to see the obverse and reverse of coins without manipulating them. 1, record 1, English, - Custom%20Set
