Royal Canadian Mint New Coins: Ancient Canada Ogygopsis 1oz. Silver Coin and 45th Anniversary of The Order of Military Merit Coin


The Royal Canadian Mint is offering two novelty coins that are being offered at a very low mintage of 5,500 coins being produced worldwide, making these already unique coins a little extra special.

The two coins are commemorating two very important parts of Canada’s culture and history, with the first coin hailing from the Canadian Honours Collection. This newly released coin is designed to commemorate the Order of Military Merit, an honour for military service that only 4,700 service men and women have received since its creation in 1972. The coin celebrates the 45th anniversary of this recognition in military service by reproducing the real insignia on a 1oz. silver coin.

The coin will cost $109.95 and will ship for FREE. But you had better act quickly on this coin, as at the time of this posting there were already 76% sold.

The second newly released coin from the Mint is from the Ancient Canada collection, which features ancient fossils from across Canada engraved into a coin with precision techniques that have been certified by the Alberta Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology to be as accurate a representation as possible. This coin, the Ogygopsis 1oz. Silver Coin, features an early arthropods known as trilobites that dates back about 500 million years. This “stone bug”, as it is colloquially known, is being studied in British Columbia’s Yoho National Park, where fossils of these ancient creatures have previously been found.

This ancient Canada collection coin will cost $134.95, but it too will ship for FREE.
