Winter can be one of the hardest times of the year to survive, as is evidenced by the slower pace to both human and animal activity. However, every slow and dull winter is merely the prelude to a burst of life and majesty that comes with each new spring. The Royal Canadian Mint captures this transformation from winter to spring on the Spring Sightings coin. Right now, the 2017 ½ oz Proof Canadian Silver Spring Sightings Coin is available to purchase from JM Bullion.

Each of the 2017 ½ oz Proof Canadian Silver Spring Sightings Coins in this product listing ships to you inside of the Royal Canadian Mint’s maroon clamshell, the perfect means of protection during transportation and storage in your personal collection.

You can experience the awakening that comes with a Canadian spring by purchasing this stunning colorized silver coin. As winter eases its hold on the nation, a sense of new beginnings is captured in a design that highlights the renewed activity that occurs across the landscape. Canada’s wildlife returns in this design as the warming air draws creatures from all walks of life out.
The reverse of the 2017 ½ oz Proof Canadian Silver Spring Sightings Coin includes the colorized image of a family of deer emerging to seek out vegetation beneath a thinning layer of snow in the woods of Canada. A deer in the center of the design remains alert, almost sensing your gaze, while the others grace.
On the obverse of the coin is the iconic right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty’s effigy is a fixture of all Canadian coinage, and in the case of this design Susanna Blunt is the artist behind the portrait.
As an added benefit of the 2017 ½ oz Proof Canadian Silver Spring Sightings Coin, its smaller size allows it to fit easily into a bezel (available separately) that transforms the coin into a one-of-a-kind jewelry piece.
The Royal Canadian Mint is the official sovereign mint of Canada. Founded in 1908, it originally operated just one facility in the federal capital of Ottawa, and now has a second location in the city of Winnipeg.
