Frequently Asked Questions
What Canadian silver coins are available beyond the standard Maple Leaf?
The Royal Canadian Mint produces an impressive range of collector silver coins including wildlife series, commemorative issues, and special-finish editions with colorized, high-relief, or reverse proof designs. These coins showcase the Mint's reputation for innovative techniques not found in the standard bullion program.
Do special Canadian silver coins have lower mintages than regular Maple Leafs?
Yes, often dramatically lower. While standard Silver Maple Leafs may have mintages in the millions, special commemorative issues can be limited to just a few thousand pieces. This built-in scarcity, combined with artistic finishes, makes them potentially more collectible over time.
What is the silver purity of Canadian commemorative coins?
Most modern Royal Canadian Mint silver coins are struck in .9999 fine silver — the same exceptional purity as Silver Maple Leafs. Select commemorative issues come in larger sizes (2 oz, 5 oz, or even 1 kilo) and feature special finishes that make them true showpiece collectibles.
