The popularity of lunar-themed coins led the Royal Canadian Mint to create coins to celebrate the Chinese Lunar Calendar. While there are many different lunar-themed coins from the RCM, the Maple Leaf Silver Coins with Zodiac privy marks are some of the most popular.

All of the coins in this series have a reverse proof finish. This means that the design fields are deeply mirrored, while the background field is frosted and matte.

Obverse

The obverse face of these coins features the image of Queen Elizabeth II. On these coins, she is shown in right-profile relief. Her effigy is joined by engravings of her name, the year of the coins issue, and the face value of the coins.

Reverse

On the reverse side of the coin, you can see the familiar Sugar Maple Leaf design. Above the leaf, you can find the word Canada, and the purity is also located on this side of the coin. The bottom half of the coin contains the small lunar monkey privy mark.
