Looked up the F12 Privy Mark: This was best description I found Quote:
Mintage of only 5,000 coins!
Brilliant Uncirculated! This coin is an instant rarity. The Fabulous 12 Mark Silver Maple Leaf was struck for a European distributor and was included in a boxed collection of the 12 most desired Silver coins in the world. The 2007 Silver Maple Leaf was given the special "F12" privy mark to commemorate the set. apparently the mint produced a select 5000 coins with this privy mark that were sold by a European distributor exclusively. It looks like they did this for a few years. |

Yes, the "fabulus 12" f12 privy was the previous version of the current F15 privy mark coin collection that's still underway (I think). Hunt down the other 11 coins and you'll have a nice set that would probably command quite the premium upon resale.

I agree, the Kangaroo is one sweet looking coin. There's really not much to it, but I want to keep looking at it. I will be on the hunt for that one now. Thanks for sharing.

I thought that I read somewhere that the Kangaroo at Sunset F12 had a mintage of 5K, and I could not this "hop away". I really like it's simplistic beauty! I like the classic portrait of the Queen (1988 & 89) better on the Maple Leafs. One more to round out the year, 2004 Britannia (MS CAMEO?);   Edited by oih82w8

I keep seeing that the 2009 Kangaroo at Sunset had a mintage of 4,000 (2000 as individual coins, 2000 as a member of the F12 privy mark set) That would be my rarest coin.  Edited by oih82w8
