The Mark V tank was one of the first rumbling mechanical beasts to hit the battlefields of Europe during World War I. The world’s first mechanized war, tanks played a relatively minor role in the conflict, but offered a precursor of things to come in World War II. To mark the 100th anniversary of their introduction, the Mark V appears as a privy mark on the 2016 1 oz Tank Privy Canadian Silver Maple Leaf Reverse Proof Coin, available to you online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The Mark tank series from the United Kingdom made its debut on the battlefields of Europe in 1916, at a point in time during World War I when the conflict was mired in deadly trench conflict. The Mark V tank was first deployed in 1918 during the closing months of the war, and would feature in the Allied intervention in Russia’s Civil War between the White Russians (royal sympathizers) and the Red Army of the Soviets.
On the reverse of each coin you’ll find the image of the Sugar Maple Leaf used on the Canadian Silver Maple Leaf coins since their 1988 introduction. The Mark V Privy mark featured on these coins is a direct reflection of the actual tanks introduced by the British during World War I, and marks 100 years since the mechanic beasts roamed the battlefields of Europe.
The obverse side of each of the Tank Privy Canadian Silver Maple Leaf coins features the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty is on the obverse of all Canadian coinage and has been since 1952 when she ascended to the throne of the United Kingdom. This particular depiction was created in 2003 by Canadian artist Susanna Blunt.
Each of the 2016 1 oz Mark V Tank Privy Canadian Silver Maple Leaf Coins in this product listing reverse proof strikings. Coins with a reverse proof finish have a strong, frosted background field that is offset by the striking beauty of the deeply-mirrored, clear field of the design sets.
