Hello gold and silver stackers. Today I wanted to present you one of the first silver coins I bought online, a few years ago. This is 1/2 ounce of Canadian silver.
It is an uncirculated coin from the prestigious Canadian mint Royal Canadian Mint of Ottawa that has been producing coins since the beginning of the 20th century. And it does so with incredible quality and details.
This beautiful coin has almost all the characteristics that I like, except for the edge, which is not the one I like the most. It is made of 999.9 Silver which is the dream of any silver stacker. The motifs are fantastic with the iconic image of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse and a fantastic image of native Canadian fauna, I think a polar fox, on the reverse.
The detail on the reverse is what made me buy this coin. The animal and the outline are detailed with great quality. It is a rare coin so it has a certain numismatic value, which I also liked. I don't like to buy very large print runs when I buy a coin.
