Description
Scarce, popular, and visually stunning, the annual proof set in the striking five-ounce, 65-mm format has a proven track record of selling out immediately for the past three years. The 2017 Big Coins boasted a mintage of 2,150, but the new 2018 edition has been limited to just 1,500, significantly increasing its rarity and appeal to collectors.
New for 2018, the Big Coin dollar showcases the classic Voyageur design, first introduced on Canada’s inaugural dollar coin in 1935. This year's collection expands to include seven denominations, bringing back the beloved maple leaf one-cent design.
Each coin is beautifully enhanced with a selective overlay of rose-colored gold on both sides, creating a stunning contrast with the familiar designs and the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. With a generous 65-mm diameter and just over five ounces of .9999 fine silver, these coins represent the pinnacle of quality in Canada’s annual sets. Highly sought after by collectors, the Big Coins are pure silver pieces crafted by the Royal Canadian Mint and are exempt from GST/HST, making them a must-have for any serious numismatist.
