2015 "Big Coin" Five Ounce Fine Silver Coins Complete Six Piece Proof Set

This collection includes the complete six piece set of the elusive 2015 first issue five ounce fine silver Big Coins, all presented in the official Royal Canadian Mint wood display case. Big Coins 2015 was the fastest sellout series ever issued by the Royal Canadian Mint, with each coin completely sold out within minutes of the official launch. Given that only 1,500 of each coin was produced, demand for this set has far exceeded this quantity. Even at new current market prices, these coins remain difficult to find in the secondary market at any price.  

All six denominations in the "Big Coin" series are double struck in 0.9999 fine silver with a proof finish, with a weight of just over five ounces.  Each of the designs is further enhanced with selective 24 karat gold plating on both sides, highlighting the coin's main design and the effigy of the Queen. This low mintage large format collection represents the absolute highest quality premier proof coin set for this year of issue.
