The Canadian Maple Leaf Silver Coin has sold more than 100 million specimens since its introduction in 1988. The silver coin was the worlds first-ever .9999 pure silver coin and has been issued predominantly as an investment-grade BU coin. However, privy marks have been used on these BU coins at times with limited mintages to create collectibility in this series. Provident Metals currently has near-perfect 2012 Dragon Privy Canadian Maple Leaf 1 oz Silver Reverse Proof Coins available to purchase online.

History
The Royal Canadian Mint introduced the Canadian Maple Leaf Silver Coins in 1988. The series featured its first-ever privy mark in 1989. The first Zodiac Series privy mark debuted in 1998 and was available through 2009 with one new privy mark for each of the 12 years in the cycle of the Chinese Lunar Calendar. After a three-year hiatus, the series of privy mark Canadian Maple Leaf Silver Coins returned in 2012 with these Year of the Dragon coins.
