2019 (1819-) Canadian Fine Silver 5-Coin Maple Leaf Fractional Set - A Bicentennial Celebration

2019 (1819-) Canadian Fine Silver 5-Coin Maple Leaf Fractional Set - A Bicentennial Celebration

The selective use of blue rhodium plating colourfully complements the reverse proof finish, without obscuring the engraved ripples that convey movement in the water. While this visual effect is limited to the 1 oz. coin, all five coins in your set share the same richly detailed, engraved designs that join two celebrations: one for a nation's natural heritage, and for the monarch who encouraged Canada's journey to Confederation.

Commemorate the bicentennial of the birth of Queen Victoria with this gorgeous pure silver 5-coin fractional set! Order yours today!

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.
