This 99.99% pure silver coin celebrated The Queen's Diamond Jubilee. Only 7,473 of these beautiful Ultra High Relief pure silver coins were released by the Royal Canadian Mint, worldwide. They will only become harder to find in the future, and prices on the few minted are likely to continue to rise as demand far exceeds supply. The featured reverse effigy is struck in the ultra high relief long associated with ancient medallic art.
Ultra high relief coins present special challenges both to engraving and striking. Each successful mintage of an ultra high relief coin is a tribute to the skill and craftsmenship of the responsible mint. This magnificent coin is hand-polished and quadruple struck! Designs approved by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Left facing effigy of Canada's Queen, a first for Queen Elizabeth II.A lovely portrait of The Queen to celebrate her Diamond Jubilee. This coin comes encapsulated and presented in a maroon flock-lined clam-shell case. The clamshell case for this coin is protected by a black sleeve and accompanied by a serialized certificate - proof of ownership for this coin and evidence that it was individually inspected by the Royal Canadian Mint's resident quality assurance specialists.
" Unsearched" - All of the coins offered in this listing are "unsearched". Many coin dealers "search" all coins when they are received from the Mint. They "cherry-pick" the best coins.
Then submit them to be graded, certified, and slabbed by PCGS, NGC, ANACS, etc. When a dealer searches coins, those that they sell in original Mint packaging are only lesser quality coins.
Photos: When a listing offers multiples of the same coin, one coin is picked at random and photographed. Since all coins offered in that listing are essentially identical, the coin photographed is representative of all coins offered.Surface areas that appear black on some proof coin photos are actually highly polished, mirror-bright metal reflecting the color of the camera. We often include proof coin photos with the coin slightly tilted to better depict the mirror bright surfaces. However, tilting the coin may resulting one side being slightly out of focus. Whenever possible, we use actual photos of our coins, rather than just stock artwork from the Mint.
We frequently update and upgrade the photos that appear with our listings, using improved cameras and lenses and better lighting. We will honor your requests for additional photos as quickly as our schedule permits. This item is in the category "Coins & Paper Money\Coins: Canada\Commemorative".
