5 oz. Fine Silver Maple Leaves 2014

5 oz. Fine Silver Coin - Maple Leaves - Mintage: 2500 (2014)



This beautiful coin represents a cluster of maple leaves, a symbol of Canada.

This 5 Troy ounce fine silver coin is large enough to show quite a bit of detail.  Larger coins usually have a larger field for the image, allowing for enhanced detail.  And, to make this coin really special it comes with a proof finish.

This coin has a mintage set at 2,500 coins by the Royal Canadian Mint, making it a rather low mintage coin.

This coin has a face value of $50 CAD, and is legal tender in Canada.

The coin is accompanied by a serialized Certificate of Authenticity.  It comes in a nice display box, and should be kept with the Certificate of Authenticity and the display case.

Click the image and read the description on the Royal Canadian Mint's site, where the special process to obtain a particularly high relief is described.

Gold Eagles

The gold $10 coin was called the Gold eagle.  The Gold Eagle went through several versions, with the coronet type being produced over the longest period.  The final production was of Indian Head pieces.

The Gold Eagle contained about 1/2 ounce of gold, with a composition of about 0.900 fineness.

Many of these have a value not much over the price of gold, and they do make nice numismatic pieces.  As with other gold pieces, during the period when it was illegal to own gold coins many were destroyed.  Mintages for gold coins from the time of these fantastic coins cannot show the true amount of coins still available.

The $10 Gold Eagle was minted from 1795 through 1933, with several missing years.
