The Royal Canadian Mint’s Canadian Silver Maple Leaf is one of the top silver bullion coins in the world. Though it is only available as a 1 oz BU specimen each year, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t ways for the RCM to create unique versions of the coin. The inclusion of special privy marks is one of the top options in this regard.
Coin Highlights:
The Royal Canadian Mint does not have its own specific Lunar Series coin collection. However, it has popularly released two privy mark collections for the Canadian Silver Maple Leaf. The first ran from 1998 to 2009 and the second has been ongoing since 2012.
In Chinese culture, the snake is associated with wisdom, intelligence, and cunning. People born in the Year of the Snake are believed to possess these qualities. They are often seen as deep thinkers, intuitive, and resourceful individuals. Snakes are also regarded as graceful, calm, and elegant, reflecting these traits in those born during the corresponding year.
Queen Elizabeth II is on the obverse of all 2013 Lunar Snake Privy Silver Maple Leaf Coins. This design is the fourth-generation effigy of the Queen during her reign and it was created in 2003 by Susanna Blunt. Ms. Blunt is just the second Canadian artist to ever create a monarch portrait for Royal Canadian Mint coins.
The sugar maple leaf is on the reverse of 2013 1 oz Lunar Snake Privy Silver Maple Leafs. Walter Ott’s depiction of the sugar maple is accompanied by a special Lunar Snake privy mark. Each Year of the Snake is also associated with one of the five elements in Chinese philosophy: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, or Water. The Year of the Snake in 2013 was specifically associated with the element of Water.
These 2013 1 oz Lunar Snake Privy Canadian Silver Maple Leaf Coins are available in protective flips. Each coin has the Lunar Snake on the reverse and this coin’s mintage of 85,000 coins was one of the highest from the RCM’s Lunar Privy Zodiac Series.
