2008 Canada Premium Wedding Proof Set

2008 Canada Premium Wedding Proof Set

As is typical, the outer cardboard sleeve might be slightly bent, and the coins might have light toning. 

The Royal Canadian Mint is proud to present the 2008 Wedding Sterling Silver Coin Set. This unique collection features a full set of traditional circulation coins in Sterling Silver - plus a Bronze Medallion specially crafted to commemorate the bride and groom's special day - exclusive to this premium coin set.

The Sterling Silver Dollar features the Common Loon. The bronze medallion depicts a wedding bouquet on one side and traditional wedding bells on the other. A separate card provides a description of the historical significance of both wedding flowers and bells.

One-cent coin and Medallion are not in Sterling Silver.
