Canadian Silver Maple Leaf Privy Mark Coins
In 1998, to mark their 90th
anniversary, the Royal Canadian Mint added a special 'privy' mark to a
limited number of Silver Maple Leaf coins. Since then, the mint and
several other companies - such as Dillon-Gage, MTB Bank, and even Canada
Post - have begun producing these limited issue privy mark Silver Maple
Leafs with the animals of the Chinese zodiac, special millennium
fireworks, and even to remember the Titanic!
Silver Maple Lunar Privy Mark Coin Series - Limited Mintage!!
These beautiful 1
troy ounce matte proof coins, minted in .9999 fine silver, bear the lunar
animal privy marks. The obverse features a regal
portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, while the reverse displays a large maple
leaf. The Royal Canadian Mint has been praised for the high standards set
for the quality and purity of their products, and these coins maintain
that tradition. The mintage on these superb matte proof coins is limited
to a mere 25,000 each year worldwide. With the exquisite quality and
rarity of these pieces, these coins are becoming very difficult to locate.
Each coin is shipped in its original RCM plastic sleeve.
D-Day 60th Anniversary Privy Silver Maple Leaf
It was June 6, 1944,
when 14,000 Canadian soldiers landed on Juno Beach.
The fighting was fierce,
but the Canadians managed to establish a Canadian
beachhead before capturing St-Aubin, Courseulles and
Berniers. One Canadian regiment succeeded in advancing
15 km (9.3 mi) inland the only Allied unit to achieve
its final objective. With victory on D-Day, the end of
the war had begun.
The Royal Canadian Mint
is proud to commemorate the sacrifices made by Allied
veterans on the 60th anniversary of D-Day, June 6, 1944
during the Second World War, with the 2004 Silver Maple
Leaf D-Day coin.
