Heritage Re-Imagined: The 1947 Maple Leaf Nickel Tribute
Own a sophisticated modern recreation of one of Canada's most famous transitional coins. Struck in 2 oz of 99.99% pure silver, this piece faithfully reproduces the historic 1947 Maple Leaf five-cent design. Originally struck in early 1948 using modified dies following India's independence, this "Maple Leaf" variety is a cornerstone of Canadian numismatic history, now elevated with selective 24-karat gold plating.
Masterful Re-Sculpting and Detail
The reverse features the iconic beaver design by G.E. Kruger Gray, meticulously re-sculpted using high-resolution archived images from the Bank of Canada Museum. The selective gold plating highlights the beaver and the distinctive raised 12-sided rim, creating a dramatic contrast against the brilliant silver proof finish. The 50 mm diameter offers a massive canvas to appreciate the intricate textures that define this legendary design.
A Premium Numismatic Asset
This tribute piece bridges the gap between historical curiosity and modern precious metal excellence. With a strictly limited mintage of 5,500 coins, it serves as a high-authority acquisition for collectors specializing in transitional Canadian coinage and the 1947-1948 era. Each coin arrives encapsulated in a premium Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a serialized certificate of authenticity.
