Canada-Celebrates-First-Circulating-Coin-Series-With-Modern-Oversized-Versions CoinWorld - Canada issued its first unified series of circulating coinage in 1870, and to mark the 150th anniversary of this milestone, the Royal Canadian Mint has issued a special 2020 set.

The four-coin set replicates those classic designs issued by the Dominion of Canada, but offers them in much different sizes, and in finer silver than the originals.

The coins are the 5-, 10-, 25- and 50-cent denominations, and are composed of .9999 fine silver, compared to the classic coins' composition of .925 fine silver. In addition, the modern examples are much larger than the originals.

The new 5-cent coin weighs 15.87 grams and measures 34 millimeters in diameter.

Sold out!!

I got the pamphlet in the mail yesterday; already too late.
(The 50-cent piece and quarter were too big for my binders anyway)

**Oops, article mentions the sell-out. Sorry.**
