Silver Bullion Coins

Obverse of 2008 Silver Canadian Maple Leaf

Coming Soon
The Royal Canadian Mint have released one ounce silver maple leaf bullion coins for Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics.
Release date was 29th July 2008, and we currently have our first batch on order, and due for delivery, expected in stock during August 2008.
More details to follow soon.

Collector Coins at Bullion Prices
These silver maple leaf coins feature a special commemorative design, but we can offer them at near-bullion prices. This should ensure that these coins appeal to both collectors and investors.

Design Changes each Year
We are told that there is going to be a design change each year, and we presume this will mean a three-year and three-coin series. Obviously, we do not expect to be able to see the next year's designs until nearer the time, but we intend to feature them here when available. Meanwhile, we are accepting orders for the 2008 coin now.

According to the Royal Canadian Mint:

Share an amazing experience with extraordinary athletes
Canadian athletes have a once in a lifetime opportunity to compete at home during the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games. And you have just as rare an opportunity to collect a coin series in honour of this special event.
Whether you're a longtime collector or just getting started, this coin programme promises to be something special.
Making the dream a reality takes more than the hard work and dedication of our Olympic athletes. It takes your passion and enthusiasm. Our athletes have already begun preparing for Vancouver 2010-now you can help make some noise and make it happen with your very own collectibles.
Look in your change
Between now and the start of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, we'll release fifteen 25-cent circulation coins, featuring Olympic sporting events that take place on snow or ice. These keepsakes celebrate the dedication of our athletes who have gone for gold in the past, and who are set to go for it in 2010.
Purchase a piece of the excitement
The beauty of coins like these is how they preserve a moment in time. When you purchase our Vancouver 2010 masterpieces, you'll applaud Canada's Olympic athletes in competition, and you'll obtain a timeless masterpiece for your collection.
Discover our numismatic treasures in silver and gold, celebrating Canada's triumphs of today while we anticipate more in 2010.
