New Issues from the Royal Canadian Mint

The Royal Canadian Mint is releasing seven new coins.  The information we have says shipping starts May 14.

The main attraction is the hologram silver maple leaf.  This one is Maple of Peace, and features a highly decorated elephant with the holographic maple leaf in the center.  This is to celebrate Chinese Canadian history and traditions.

To commemotate the historic battle of the War of 1812, a five ounce gold coin depicts the HMS Shannon and the USS Chesapeake.

A colorized cupronickel coin honoring Her Magesty Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation is an affordable keepsake for the occasion.

There are two issues of the Butterflies of Canada:  Canadian Tiger Swallowtail, one in fine silver and the other silver plated.

The other two coins are fine silver issues, one Summertime Fun and the other Fishing.
