2016 $20 Canadian Salmonids: Atlantic Salmon, 1 oz Pure Silver Color Proof


SKU# OK149606E



Specifications
Composition - 99.99% pure silver
Finish - color proof
Weight (g) - 31.83 (one troy ounce)
Diameter - 40
Edge - serrated
Certificate - serial numbered (serial numbers will vary)
Face value - 20 dollars (a legal tender Canadian coin)

Description
Mention the word salmon and images of powerful, unstoppable fish swimming upstream immediately come to mind. This 3-coin series promises to capture anglers hook, line and sinker as it celebrates Canada’s indigenous salmonid species, starting with the Atlantic salmon. This “King of Fish” swims in the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic Oceans - and it’s true to form in this energizing, color-enhanced design!

Designed by Canadian artist Curtis Atwater, your coin features the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) during its upstream journey to spawning grounds in one of the many rivers flowing through the boreal forests of Eastern Canada. In the skilfully engraved background, several migrating salmon can be seen leaping out of the fast-moving waters to ascend the rocky waterfall. Selective color superbly highlights the salmon in the foreground, whose tail is curled up as it angles forward with great energy. Re-adapting to freshwater conditions, the mature salmon’s glistening appearance has altered from the silver of its saltwater existence to a bronze-green hue with black and reddish spots. The entirety of the design conveys a high sense of energy in this pristine outdoor setting, as water splashes out from these “jumping” fish onto the band that frames the reverse, where the word “CANADA”, the year “2016”, and the face value “20 DOLLARS” are also engraved.


Special features:
  • First coin in an exciting three coin series.
  • Each 1 oz. coin is 99.99% pure silver with mintage limited to 5,500 coins.
  • Large, 40mm format provides a broad surface tor the intricate details and color.
  • A FIRST! This coin is the first where the Royal Canadian Mint has featured a fish in color on a coin!
  • Selective color and finishing technology beautifully enhances the engraved portrait of an Atlantic Salmon!
  • For our Canadian customers, these coins are GST/HST exempt!


Packaging:

Each coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint maroon clam-shell case protected by an outer box.

Surfaces that appear black on some proof coin photos are actually highly polished silver reflecting the color of the camera.

United States Mint Announces Three New 2016 Commemorative Gold Coins

Reprinted from United States Mint Press Release & Other Documents - Photos Courtesy of United States Mint:

The United States Mint has announced plans to issue gold versions of three classic 1916 coins in honor of their upcoming centennial in 2016. The commemorated coins will include the Winged Liberty dime, the Standing Liberty quarter, and the Walking Liberty half dollar.
The new .9999 24-karat gold coins will be issued in sizes that approximate those of the original issues. The Winged Liberty dime will come as a 1/10 oz. piece, the Standing Liberty quarter will be 1/4 oz., and the Walking Liberty half dollar will weigh 1/2 oz.



The Winged Liberty dime was designed by Adolph A. Weinmen. It’s obverse features an image of Liberty facing left and wearing a winged cap. Inscribed along the rim are LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST, the mint mark, and the year of issue. The Mint’s press release points out that this design became known as the Mercury dime because of Liberty’s resemblance to the Roman god, Mercury.

The coin’s reverse bears an illustration of a Roman fasces with an olive branch, along with the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, and ONE DIME. The gold issue of this coin will add the inscriptions AU, 24K, and 1/10 OZ to the reverse.



The Standing Liberty design was created by Herman A. MacNeil. The obverse image features Liberty standing with a shield and an olive branch before a wall marked with 13 stars.

The reverse design bears the image of an eagle in flight with 13 stars placed along the rim; the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, and QUARTER DOLLAR occupy the field around the eagle. This reverse will also feature the updated inscriptions AU, 24 K, and 1/4 OZ.



Adolph A. Weinman also designed the Walking Liberty half dollar. The obverse design features Liberty walking to the left, moving toward sunrise while bearing branches of laurel and oak, which symbolize civil and military glory, according to the release. The American flag unfurls behind her. Inscribed on the obverse are LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST, the mint mark, and the year of issue.

The reverse bears the image of an eagle rising toward flight, surrounded by the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, and HALF-DOLLAR. As with the other commemorative issues, this coin will feature the additional inscriptions AU, 24 K, and 1/2 OZ.


The Mint’s press release notes that mintage levels, sale dates, and pricing have yet to be determined and will be announced some time next year.

Canada 2015 $20 American Scimitar Sabre-Tooth Cat 1 oz. 99.99% Pure Silver Coin

SKU# OK144428E


Canada 2015 $20 American Scimitar Sabre-Tooth Cat 1 oz. 99.99% Pure Silver Coin

Prehistoric Animals Series






Specifications
Composition - gold (99.99% pure)
Finish - proof
Weight (g) - 31.39 (1 troy ounce)
Diameter (mm) - 38
Edge - serrated
Certificate - serialized (serial numbers will vary)
Face value - 20 dollars (a legal tender Canadian coin)
Artists - Julius Csotonyi (reverse), Susanna Blunt (obverse)


Description
The scimitar cat (Homotherium serum) is arguably one of the most awe-inspiring animals of the Ice Age.  Famous for its knife-like fangs, the scimitar cat's teeth were shorter than those of the better known sabre-tooth cat, Smilodon fatalis, but were equally lethal: its sabres were coarsely serrated, just like a steak knife, making them perfectly suited for slicing through the soft flesh of its prey. 

This fierce feline was a master at pursuing prey, which consisted of ungulates such as horses and camels.  The scimitar cat would charge from behind a bush or tall grasses with blinding swiftness, bowl over its intended prey and slash the throat with its lethal canines.  Then, once the uproar subsided, the cat dragged its latest meal to its den.

It was roughly the size of a lion, but with a lighter body that gave it more running flexibility than its Ice Age cousins, other sabre-tooth cats, and the American lion.  It had a short tail like a lynx, and long, powerful forelimbs but slightly shorter hind legs that gave it a hyena-like stance.

This fascinating cat ranged from Beringia, a prehistoric grassland region stretching from Siberia to Alaska, which was too dry for glaciers, all the way to southern North America by way of the Yukon, the Northwest Territories, and Alberta. Having gone extinct sometime between 13,000 and 11,000 years ago, the scimitar cat's demise was likely linked to the extinction of the large Ice Age herbivores.

Special features:
  • To ensure a high degree of scientific accuracy, the design of this coin was verified by palaeontologists of the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Alberta. 
  • Unmatched detail is achieved through the technically demanding application of multiple finishes:  highlights shine and shadows deepen while the depth and texture of the scimitar's facial features are enhanced.
  • For our Canadian customers, this coin is GST/HST exempt.

About the Design:
Canadian artist Julius Csotonyi has crafted a heart-stopping portrait of a roaring scimitar cat, with its mouth open wide as it bares its lethal teeth and scimitars. The details are exquisite: luxurious fur, piercing eyes, razor-sharp teeth and a roughly textured tongue are all beautifully rendered with finely detailed engraving.

Packaging:
Each coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clam-shell case protected by a custom beauty box.

Shipping & Handling
Fast, free shipping to all U.S. addresses via USPS First Class Mail.  USPS Priority Mail & Priority Mail Express are also available for an additional charge.

About the Design:
The coin’s image, provided by Warner Bros., brings together some of the principal Looney Tunes characters framed in concentric circles, much like the end credits after each cartoon that were accompanied by the line “That’s all Folks!”. Beautifully detailed engraving and spectacular color bring this design to life, with dynamic movement created by the characters as they appear to be emerging from the centre opening. As the star of the 'show', Bugs Bunny is the center focus; with one hand leaning on the circle, he confidently smiles his wide, buck-toothed grin as his other gloved hand reaches out toward the viewer. The other characters are sometimes portrayed as antagonists: there’s Wile E. Coyote just over Bugs’ right shoulder, as he looks off the side and waves a closed fist in the air; above him stands Tasmanian Devil with his arms raised and mouth open; next to him is Daffy, who bears an expression of defiant outrage as he also stands with fists clenched; finally, there’s the calmly villainous space character known as Marvin the Martian, who lifts his thumb up as he scrutinizes something in the distance.
