In early 1948, India's independence made the royal title “ET IND IMP” obsolete — but new dies hadn't arrived from London, so the Mint struck 1947-dated coins bearing a tiny maple leaf beside the date to mark them as 1948 strikes. This 2023 tribute magnifies the beloved 1947 Maple Leaf five-cent piece to a spectacular 50 mm format: G.E. Kruger Gray's beaver and T.H. Paget's George VI effigy faithfully recreated from archival photographs, richly dressed in selective gold plating on both faces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCollector Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry: Canada\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYear: 2023 (recreating the 1947 Maple Leaf issue)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDenomination: 5 Cents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComposition: 99.99% Pure Silver with selective gold plating (obverse and reverse)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 62.69 g (2 troy oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter: 50 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Proof\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdge: Serrated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertificate: Serialized RCM COA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Individually photographed — you receive the exact coin shown; complete in original RCM black clamshell case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMintage: 5,500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigner: G.E.

This tribute belongs to the Mint's acclaimed series revisiting its most storied issues in large-format silver, and with just 5,500 struck, it sold out at the Mint. A perfect companion to an original George VI beaver nickel — like the 1946 example also in this shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy We Love This One\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA giant, gilded tribute to one of the best stories in Canadian coins.
