Product Description
2015 5-Cent 1 oz Fine Silver Coin – Legacy of the Canadian Nickel: The Crossed Maple Boughs
SPECIAL FEATURES
-
The crossed maple bough is the first coin of the six-coin Legacy of the Canadian Nickel series, which recreates previous 5-cent coin designs produced by the Royal Canadian Mint throughout its history, since 1908.
-
Modern techniques and multiple finishes help bring the past to life with added definition and enhanced detailing.
-
Each coin within the series is faithful to the original design and includes the effigy of the reigning monarch at the time of the coin’s original issue date.
-
This coin’s 40-mm diameter makes it double the size of the original, allowing for a larger canvas to showcase the intricately detailed design.
-
A great gift for collectors of Canadiana, history-themed and circulation coins with this new 6-coin series! Coins are launched monthly from February to July 2015.
DESIGN
This 5-cent coin is 99.99% pure silver, with a diameter of 40 millimetres and a metal weight of 31.83 grams. The reverse image features a recreation of William Henry James Blakemore’s design, which graced the 5-cent coin from 1911 to 1921. Finely detailed engraving and selective gold plating recreate St. Edward’s Crown, the solid gold coronation crown, as it appeared on the original coin design. New sculpt and finishes bring added definition to the crossed bough of 22 maple leaves. Featured on the reverse is the effigy of King George V, who was the reigning monarch from 1910 to 1936.
