2023 Canada 5 Cent Silver 1947 Maple Leaf Mark

Faithfully re-sculpted using archived images from the Bank of Canada Museum, the historic reverse features the maple leaf mark that was added 75 years ago, in early 1948 to 1947-dated coins struck after India gained its independence from British rule. That small maple leaf alludes to imminent change: the removal of “IND: IMP:” (“Emperor of India”) from the outmoded obverse legend, which has also been reproduced on this limited collectible that brings the past to life.

Coin Highlights:

• Contains 2 oz of .9999 fine Silver.
• Limited mintage of only 5,500 coins.
• Encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.
• Obverse: The obverse features an updated year of issue (“2023”) and Thomas Humphrey Paget’s effigy of King George VI with the outmoded legend “GEORGIVS VI D:G:REX ET IND:IMP:” (“George VI, by the grace of God, King and Emperor of India”).
• Reverse: Your coin is a faithful re-creation of the 1947 Maple Leaf 5 cent circulation coin, but on a larger scale and with selective Gold plating. Framed by a raised rim that mimics the original coin’s 12-sided shape, George Edward Kruger Gray’s iconic beaver design appears on the reverse, where a small maple leaf placed next to the year “1947” indicates the coin was originally struck in 1948 using outdated dies.
• Guaranteed by the Royal Canadian Mint.
