2016 Canada 25 Dollar 1/4-oz Silver Elf Specimen NGC SP70 Early Releases

Celebrate Winter with an Iconic Figure of the Season!

At once dutiful and playful, elves are the ones who handle the logistics of Christmas. From making the toys that Santa brings to boys and girls to making sure that the sleigh and the Jolly Old Elf himself are ready for their journey, elves joyfully work throughout the year to ensure that every child and parent smiles on Christmas morning. The creatures are especially well known for their curled shoes and warm uniforms. This Silver Woodland Elf Specimen is the perfect coin to celebrate their spirit while also helping you to enjoy the Christmas season right up until spring.

• FOUR-NINE FINE -- Each 2016 Woodland Elf Specimen was struck from 1/4-oz of 99.99% fine silver at the Royal Canadian Mint (RCM).

• A FAMILIAR FIGURE IN THE FROZEN NORTH – The coin shows the elf at work in the woods. A light snowfall adds to the already considerable accumulation. The old elf smiles as he works away on his project, a house for the bird that looks up at him from the ground.

• FITTING SPECIMEN FINISH -- The coin's specimen finish gives the piece a grey look, which suits the winter months in the north perfectly.

• CANADIAN LEGAL TENDER -- Each 2016 Woodland Elf Specimen is $25 legal tender in Canada, as noted along with the coin's purity at the bottom of the reverse.

• CERTIFIED NEAR-FLAWLESS -- Your coin will be certified Specimen-70 (SP70) by Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), a distinction that means your perfectly-graded coin will have ZERO imperfections -- showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended!

Few figures bring instantaneous joy to those who see them like elves. They transport people back to their childhoods – or their children's and grandchildren's childhoods – making them recall simpler times of joy and happiness when their everyday worries were not yet so much as distant thoughts. That universal joy that they bring may be why over a quarter of a million pieces were issued. Even with that mintage, though, the universal appeal of the figures makes this 2016 Silver Woodland Elf Specimen a true find, so order yours now while we still have them available!
