Canadian Silver Coins Investment in General

All investors are familiar with the Canadian series of silver coins.

Reasons to invest in Canadian silver coins are:

  • Author's and historical design "Incuse", which is a matrix of indented fields on the coin;

  • Latest technologies in minting coins;

  • Attention to detail and 99.99% pure silver;

  • Since 2015, anti-counterfeiting safeguards have been added to the coins in the form of a micro-engraved secret mark, visible only under magnification;

  • The 2018 "Mintshield" technology for visual aesthetics, which solves the problem of milky or white spots on silver coins that can occur when minting them;

  • In 2023, a special double date mark and 4 pearls were added to the "Maple Leaf" series, the purity of the silver 9999;

  • Canadian silver coins are individually minted, have received many numismatic awards, and have specific packaging;

    Beautiful and unique series of silver or gold coins that many collectors around the world love. The investment in them is worth it. Constant innovation attracts even more investors who buy into it over time.

The Canadian Silver "Maple Leaf" coin is official for the country and dates from 1988.

Features:

  • First ever 9999 pure silver coin;

  • On the obverse, which does not change often, is the right profile of Elizabeth II /rev. 2003 to now/ or Dora De Pederi - Hunt /1990-2002/;

  • On the other side is the sugar maple leaf, whose vision is constantly refined in detail;

  • A personally marked coin and one of the rarest in the world;

    Examples of unique "Insignia" on the "Maple Leaf" silver coins series vary by purpose - a small four-leaf clover next to the stem of the maple leaf for the Irish "St. Patrick's Day" and other individual marks. That depends on the year and occasion of the coinage.

    The Canadian "Maple Leaf" coin is available in Gold, Platinum, and Palladium and is extremely popular worldwide. Given its constant improvement, its value will continue to increase.

The Canadian "Wild Life" silver coins series were created in 2011.

The series' original form included six coins. Each year from 2011 to 2013, two coins featuring images of Canada's rare and protected wildlife species were minted.

Facts:

  • Limited edition 1,000,000 per year;

  • Troy ounce of 0.9999  silver purity;

  • Complex design;

  • A small series that contributes to the uniqueness of investors' collections;

  • The designs are Timber Wolf, Grizzly, Coguar, Wood Bison, Moose, and Antelope;

All coins are personalized with the initials of their makers "WW" and "ED".

After 2013, new "Wild Life" series were created, including "Birds of Prey," "Predator," "Grey Wolf," and others.

As of today, new coin collectors are amazed by Canadian gloss silver coins, but their story started long ago.

I will tell you more about it later on.
