Product Description
Faithfully re-sculpted using archival images, this 2oz. 99.99% pure silver coin from the Royal Canadian Mint is a timely look back at one of Canada’s most famous transitional issues: the 1947 Maple Leaf five-cent circulation coin.
Like the original circulation piece, this 2023 collector coin is marked by a small maple leaf placed next to the year “1947”. The obverse also features the same effigy and outmoded legend (“ET IND: IMP:”) as the original 1947 Maple Leaf five-cent coin.
- Features a round shape but a raised rim to closely resemble the original 12-sided coin.
- More than a re-creation, this is a re-telling of the story of the 1947 Maple Leaf coins.
- The obverse and reverse have been painstakingly re-created using modern techniques and archival photographs.
- The issuing year “2023” has been moved to the obverse and made less prominent in order to keep the focus on the historically significant elements.
