This new 2017 $25 pure silver coin continues this tradition with an extra thick format coin featuring a highly detailed image of two national symbols. Mintage is extremely limited at just 7,000.

A transition marks the center of the field, with classic depictions on the left to represent the nation’s past (1867), and more contemporary versions on the right to represent both the present (2017) and beyond. Both icons are resplendent in selective gold plating. Foremost is the beaver, the industrious mammal that is symbolizes Canada’s sovereignty. Its tail and back half are texturally detailed, as it has appeared on previous coin designs, while the front portion transitions into a stylized silhouette that offers a more modern take on this Canadian icon. Behind it is the iconic maple leaf, whose serrated edges and deeply veined lobes are fixtures throughout the design. The left features a more natural and life-like appearance that evokes the reverse of the beloved Silver Maple Leaf (SML) coin, while the right portion places a strong emphasis on symmetry and conveys a sense of strength. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe reverse also features the date “2017”, and engraved word “CANADA”, and the denomination “25 Dollars”. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe obverse by Susanna Blunt features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, with selective gold plating.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-block-list__item product-block-list__item--content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"card\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"card__header\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"card__title heading h3\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"card__section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte text--pull\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mm-metafields\"\u003eFEATURES:\u003cbr\u003eProduced By: RCM\u003cbr\u003eDenomination: 25 Dollars\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTECHNICAL SPECS:\u003cbr\u003eDiameter: 34mm\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Silver\u003cbr\u003eFineness: 0.9999\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 31.39 grams\u003cbr\u003eBullion Weight: 1.009 Troy Ounces\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEXTENDED INFORMATION:\u003cbr\u003eObverse: Queen Elizabeth II\u003cbr\u003eReverse: Beaver and Maple leaf\u003cbr\u003eArtist: Pierre Leduc\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Proof\u003cbr\u003eQuantity Produced: 7,000\u003cbr\u003eMonarch: Queen Elizabeth II\u003cbr\u003eTheme: Celebrate Canada\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-block-list__item product-block-list__item--content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"card\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"card__section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte text--pull\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mm-metafields\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan class=\"d-block mt-1\" style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-readmore-preview-text=\"\" class=\"tmx-pdp__about-desc-preview\"\u003eOrder yours today!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Royal Canadian Mint","offers":[{"title":"CA19878812","offer_id":51971135177005,"sku":null,"price":134.32,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4844\/5231\/files\/623932082816.webp?v=1775674415","url":"https:\/\/globalbullionsuppliers.com\/products\/1-oz-o-canada-under-the-maple-tree-2014-25-pure-silver-coin-copy-1","provider":"Global Bullion Suppliers ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
