Canada: 2019 A Bicentennial Celebration Pure Silver 5-Coin Maple Leaf Fractional Set

Canada: 2019 A Bicentennial Celebration Pure Silver 5-Coin Maple Leaf Fractional Set

Design: All five of your coins are 99.99% pure silver and share the same reverse design by Canadian artist Julius Csotonyi, featuring maple leaves floating on water. The highly detailed, engraved image captures a tranquil moment in the Canadian landscape, whose seasonal beauty is arguably at its peak. Carried by the autumn breeze, several sugar maple leaves have tumbled down from the forest canopy overhead, their edges slightly curled, before gently resting on the water. Exclusive to the 1 oz. coin, blue rhodium plating adds a colourful reflective hue to the aquatic setting, without obscuring the engraved ripples that convey movement across the water. The words “CANADA” and “FINE SILVER 1 OZ ARGENT PUR” are engraved in the frame that circles the image, along with the purity level “9999” and the double dates “1819 2019” that commemorate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Queen Victoria. The royal bicentennial is front and centre on the obverse, where the effigies of Queen Victoria by Leonard Charles Wyon and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt are accompanied by each Sovereign's royal cypher.
