Each of the 2018 1 oz Lightbulb Privy Canadian Silver Maple Leaf coins in this unique offering come with a reverse proof finish. The reverse proof elements of the coin are opposite those of a typical proof, delivering strong, frosted matte backgrounds. For the design elements on the coin there is a deeply-mirrored, clear visual.

Additionally, you’ll find the Royal Canadian Mint’s new MintShield Technology on these coins. This new technology provides an invisible barrier that has proven in testing at the RCM to help prevent milky spots, or white spots that detract from the visual brilliance of coins.

The evolution of light in human dwellings took a dramatic leap forward between the mid-19^th century and the early decades of the 20^th century. For thousands of years, mankind relied upon fire and candles to light caves, homes, castles, and other buildings. Thomas Edison is widely credited with bringing light to millions with his development of the first reliable incandescent light bulbs.

On these 2018 1 oz Lightbulb Privy Canadian Silver Maple Leaf Coins you’ll find a privy mark denoting the success of mankind in the pursuit of the light. Thomas Edison may have been the big name, but two Canadian men also contributed. Those men were Henry Woodward and Mathew Evans.

The obverse of all Canadian Silver Maple Leaf Coins feature the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This is the fourth-generation design and includes engravings of Her Majesty’s name, the face value of the coin, and its year of issue.

On the reverse of the 2018 1 oz Lightbulb Privy Canadian Silver Maple Leaf Coin is the sugar maple leaf design by Walter Ott. Included in the lower-left field is a lightbulb privy, marking the success of mankind in the pursuit of electric lighting in homes.
