1976 Canada Limited Edition Fine Silver 8+2 Cents Olympics Swimming Stamp - Tarnished
A magnificent crossover piece for philatelists and bullion investors alike. This limited-edition Fine Silver Stamp Sculpture/Replica meticulously recreates the official 8+2 Cents Swimming Semi-Postal Stamp issued by Canada Post for the historic XXI Olympiad (1976 Montreal Summer Olympics).
Minted in the mid-1970s as an official premium commemorative, this rectangular silver bar captures the unique look of a postage stamp, complete with realistic simulated "stamp teeth" perforations around the edges. It is struck in .999 fine pure silver and carries significant historical weight as it celebrates the first time Canada hosted the Olympic Games.

It displays the official denomination inscription: "Canada 8+2"—representing the 8-cent postage rate plus the 2-cent surcharge used to finance the Montreal Olympics. It also features the inscription "Olympiade XXI Olympiad Montréal 1976".
- Reverse (Back): Showcases a clean, professional finish featuring Canada's iconic Maple Leaf. It is explicitly stamped with its hallmarks confirming its precious metal authenticity: "Canada Post • Postes Canada • .999 Silver • Argent à .999 de fin • 15.55 g".
