Canadian Silver Bison coins broke the mold when created by the Royal Canadian Mint. While most refineries produce 1 oz coins in all programs, and less-than-1-ounce products, it is extremely rare to see fractional-weight coins above 1 oz.
The 2016 1.25 oz Canadian Silver Bison coins offered by JM Bullion in this listing are near-perfect specimens according to the NGC. Coins with a Mint State 69 grade are characterized by the presence of full, original mint luster, but may also feature a maximum of two minor detracting flaws.
As part of the Early Release Series, these coins were packaged and shipped to an NGC or NGC-approved depository within the first 30 days of the issue date for 2016 Canadian Silver Bison coins.
On the reverse face of the coin you’ll find the stunning image of a bison as it drinks from a cool stream in the foothills, with massive mountain peaks visible in the background. Engravings include “Canada 2016” above, and “Fine Silver 1 ¼ oz Argent Pur” below.
The obverse bears the 2003 depiction of Queen Elizabeth II created by Susanna Blunt. Her Majesty’s name, the phrase “D.G. Regina,” and the coin’s face value are engraved. Both sides of the coin feature enhanced security features of Royal Canadian Mint products, particularly the micro-laser engraved radial lines and the maple leaf privy on the reverse.
