2015 Canadian 5-Cent Legacy of the Canadian Nickel 6-Coin Fine Silver & Gold-plated Set

Throughout its history, each of the nickel's transformations provides a glimpse of a young nation that was seeking to define itself, and a Mint that would quickly come into its own. This Legacy of the Canadian Nickel set is a retrospective look at the history of 5-cent coins minted by the Royal Canadian Mint, beginning with this crossed maple bough design that was used until 1921.

Features:

EACH COIN INCLUDES A UNIQUE EFFIGY: Each coin in this set is faithful to the original design and includes the effigy of the reigning monarch at the time of the coin's original issue date.
The crossed maple bough is the first coin of the six-coin Legacy of the Canadian Nickel set, which recreates previous 5-cent coin designs produced by the Royal Canadian Mint throughout its history, since 1908. Other coins in the set include:
      –  #2: Two Maple Leaves
      –  #3: The Victory
      –  #4: The Identification of Nickel
      –  #5: The Centennial 5-cent Coin
      –  #6: The Beaver
Modern techniques and multiple finishes help bring the past to life with added definition and enhanced detailing.
Each coin's 40-mm diameter makes it double the size of the original, allowing for a larger canvas to showcase the intricately detailed design.
Each proof coin in the set is 99.99% pure silver, with selective gold plating.
Your coins are GST/HST exempt!

Design:

A spectacular maple celebration, your piedfort coin’s reverse features a classically rendered leaf from a red maple (Acer rubrum) tree. Along with the word “CANADA”, the gold purity standard of “9999” and the year “2021”, the reverse includes a maple leaf privy mark denoting the 25th anniversary of Canada’s national arboreal emblem, the maple tree (Acer). Enhanced by the coin’s reverse proof finish, a maple leaf field pattern dazzles on both the reverse and the obverse, which features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.

Packaging:

Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded wooden box.
