First introduced only 2 years after the Silver Eagle in 1988, the Silver Maple Leaf is the Royal Canadian Mint's own successful silver bullion series that represents Canadian culture and ideals. Struck with 1 oz of .9999 fine silver, this stunning coin is a welcome addition to any collection. This 2015 1 oz. Canadian Maple E=mc2 Privy Reverse Proof Silver Coin is a unique twist on this classic bullion coin!
This Silver Maple Leaf coin commemorates the 100th Anniversary of Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. E=mc2 is arguably the most well-known scientific equation in history, and it was famously created by historic genius Albert Einstein. In 1915, Einstein finalized his groundbreaking work, the General Theory of Relativity, which introduced revolutionary concepts about gravity and the movement of massive objects such as stars, planets, and galaxies. A decade earlier, in 1905, he had presented an earlier version of his famous equation, (E=mc^2), within his Special Theory of Relativity. This theory explained the phenomena occurring when objects approach the speed of light—a notion that likely seemed like pure science fiction over a century ago!
This 2015 Reverse Proof Maple Leaf was upgraded with an E=mc2 privy mark on the reverse next to the maple leaf design. This piece has also been given a near-perfect Reverse PF70 grade by NGC and has been holdered with a special label showing Canada's incredible wilderness. Only 50,000 of these special silver coins remembering Einstein's genius contribution to humanity were minted, so this is a stunning rarity perfect for any collection.
Highlights:
- Only 50,000 minted
- NGC Reverse PF70
- 1 oz of .9999 fine silver
