Product Description
2015 5-Cent 1 oz Fine Silver Coin – Legacy of the Canadian Nickel: The Two Maple Leaves
SPECIAL FEATURES:
- The two maple leaves design is the second of the six-coin Legacy of the Canadian Nickel series, which revisits the previous 5-cent coin designs that were produced by the Royal Canadian Mint throughout its history.
- Multiple finishes and expert sculpting help bring added detailing and dimension to this recreation.
- 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!
DESIGN:
The reverse image features a recreation of William James Henry Blakemore’s 1922 redesign of Canada’s 5-cent coin. Finely detailed engraving, multiple finishes and selective gold plating breathe new life and more definition to the original design, which features two maple leaves facing outward from the centre. They frame the bottom of a stylistically rendered “5” which paired with the words “FIVE” “CINQ” and “CENTS” indicate the face value. Also engraved on the reverse are the word “CANADA” and the year “2015”. The obverse features the effigy of King George V, who was the reigning monarch from 1910 to 1936 by Sir E.B. MacKennal.
