2023 5-CENT FINE SILVER COIN
1947 MAPLE LEAF MARK
LIMITED TO TWO COINS PER CUSTOMER PER ADDRESS.
Faithfully re-sculpted using archival images, this 2 oz. 99.99% pure silver coin from the Royal Canadian Mint is a timely look back at one of Canada’s most famous transitional issues: the 1947 Maple Leaf five-cent circulation coin. Its historic reverse features the small maple leaf that was added 75 years ago, in early 1948, to Canadian coins struck after India gained its independence from British rule, but before a new obverse was ready. On the original coin, the unusual mark alludes to imminent change: the removal of “ET IND: IMP:” (“Emperor of India”) from the outmoded obverse legend, which has also been faithfully reproduced on this limited collectible that brings the past to life.
Like the original circulation piece, this 2023 collector coin is marked by a small maple leaf placed next to the year “1947”. The obverse also features the same effigy and outmoded legend (“ET IND: IMP:”) as the original 1947 Maple Leaf five-cent coin.
Features a round shape but a raised rim to closely resemble the original 12-sided coin.
More than a re-creation, this is a re-telling of the story of the 1947 Maple Leaf coins.
The obverse and reverse have been painstakingly re-created using modern techniques and archival photographs.
The issuing year “2023” has been moved to the obverse and made less prominent in order to keep the focus on the historically significant elements.
