{{/presale}}The Year of the Snake brings forth the fourth edition in the esteemed Chinese zodiac series from the Royal Canadian Mint. Launched in 1998 with The Year of the Tiger, this remarkable collection celebrates the Chinese Lunar Calendar. With only 25,000 coins struck annually, the 2001 1 oz Lunar Snake Privy Silver Maple Leaf Coins are now available for purchase at BGASC.
Highlights:
Transported securely in protective plastic flips, the 2001 1 oz Lunar Snake Privy Canadian Silver Maple Leaf Coins are a treasure to behold. Each coin is crafted with 1 Troy oz of .9999 pure silver and backed by the Canadian Government with a face value of $5 (CAD).
Obverse
The obverse of these coins showcases a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Canadian artist Dora de Pedery-Hunt. This image, featuring the Queen in right-profile relief at 64 years of age, graced the obverse of Canadian Silver Maple Leafs from 1990 to 2004. Inscriptions include ELIZABETH II, 5 DOLLARS, 2001.
Reverse
On the reverse field, you’ll find the iconic maple leaf design by Walter Ott, a symbol synonymous with Canadian pride. Accompanied by the Year of the Snake privy, this image pays homage to the unique theme of the Lunar Snake. Inscriptions include CANADA, 9999, 9999, FINE SILVER, 1 OZ, ARGENT PUR, and SNAKE.
History
The RCMs roots can be traced back to 1908 when they were just known as the Royal Mint. Following The Great Depression, they joined with the Canadian Government to create the Royal Canadian Mint. Now, the Royal Canadian Mint has two locations, the original in Ottawa which handles domestic production, while the newer Winnipeg location deals with international production.
