Niobium Full Moon Coin Series

The Royal Canadian Mint produced four coins in 2011 – 2012, using niobium in bi=metal coins featuring Sterling silver (92.5 %) outer rings, and niobium inner disks. Each of the four coins is colored a different color, and the images, buck, hunter, wolf, and pink full moons represent the four seasons, summer, autumn, winter, and spring. These are very low mintage coins, and can be found individually or in four coin sets.
