Description
The $1 Face Value (FV) 80% Silver Canadian Coins are a reflection of Canada's numismatic history when silver played a prominent role in everyday currency. These coins, with their 80% silver content, offer a combined Actual Silver Weight (ASW) of approximately 0.6 troy ounces for every dollar of face value. As indicated by the "Random Denominations" label, the mix could include any combination of denominations such as quarters, dimes, and half dollars minted before 1968, when Canada transitioned away from high-silver-content circulating coins. Each coin's obverse typically features a portrait of the reigning monarch of the period, with the most common being Queen Elizabeth II. The reverse varies based on denomination, displaying iconic Canadian symbols and wildlife. When purchasing, collectors and investors receive coins that total up to the specified face value, offering a tangible piece of Canada's rich monetary past.
