Why purchase this flawless 2017 Canadian Phases of the Moon Enameled Proof Set?
This gorgeous three-coin silver proof set is a stylized journey through the Phases of the Moon. Each coin is struck by the Royal Canadian Mint from 2 Troy oz. of .9999 fine silver, with designs selectively enhanced by hand applied translucent enamel. Mintage of this set containing three 50 mm diameter proofs is limited to 3,000.
Artistic Faces of the Moon Designs
The reverses feature the artistry of Kwakwaka'wakw artist Andy Everson, depicting three of the moon's phases: a youthful, dark new moon, the mature face of the partially veiled waxing gibbous moon and the wise, silver full moon.
Canadian artist Susanna Blunt's effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II appears on each obverse, against an intricately engraved maple leaf field pattern. Inscriptions include "ELIZABETH II," "CANADA 2017," "D.G. REGINA" and "30 DOLLARS."
