2005 Lynx 4 Coin Silver Set (1 Oz, 1/2 Oz, 1/4 Oz, 1/10 Oz)

A set of four coins from the Royal Canadian Mint. Each coin is 99.99% pure silver and feature images on lynx. The interesting thing about these coins is that they were sold as a set and contain fractional coins as well as a full ounce coin. The artwork on each coin are different, so these are not just smaller versions of the same coin. The 1 Oz coin has a face value of $5, the 1/2 Oz coin is $4, 1/4 Oz coin $3 and 1/10 Oz coin $2. So in total, the set has 1.85 Oz of pure silver and a face value of $14.


I find the artwork on these to be quite nice and love the progressively smaller coins. I think the Royal Canadian Mint does a great job with their nature coins and this set is no exception. I am very happy I purchased it. The total mintage for this set was 15,000 sets so it is relatively rare.
