1948 Canada 5-coin Year Set in Snap Lock Case

1948 Canada 5-coin Year Set in Snap Lock Case

This 1948 Canada 5-coin year set features all silver coins except for the Penny and Nickel, showcasing full dates and clear lettering in average collectible condition. Excluding the Silver Dollar, the set includes five well-preserved coins carefully presented in a protective snap-lock case, ideal for both collectors and enthusiasts seeking authentic mid-century Canadian coinage.

Following the arrival of the master tools with the new obverse legend omitting "ET IND:IMP:" in 1948, the 1947 Maple Leaf coinage was terminated. For the remainder of the year, coins were produced with the new obverse and the true date, 1948.
