Royal Canadian Mint Silver

What is the Royal Canadian Mint?

The Royal Canadian Mint was founded in 1908 to address the need for a domestic mint in Canada. Prior to its inception, Canadian coins were produced in the Royal Mint in London. In 1976, the mint became a Crown corporation owned by the Canadian government. Over the years, the mint has played a crucial role in producing Canada's circulation coins, commemorative coins and refining precious metals.

Today, the Royal Canadian Mint is recognized globally for its high-quality coinage and innovative products.
