2012 Silver Maple Leaf - "Great Landmarks of Europe" with Privy mark!

This is the European version of the popular Canadian "Wildlife Series". To promote and expand awareness of Maple Leaf coins to bullion investors, the Royal Canadian Mint issued a 6-coin series of coins in the United States with a wildlife theme. The first three coins in the series are the Timber Wolf, Grizzly Bear and Cougar. For the European market, the Royal Canadian Mint has issued another 6-coin series called the Great Landmarks and Monuments of Europe. The first three coins in this series are London's Tower Bridge, Berlin's Brandenburg Gate and the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy. Both series of coins are the same size, weight and fineness. However, while one million wildlife coins are struck for each design, only 50,000 Great Landmark coins have been struck. These coin are exceptionally hard to find and compare very favorably against the popular Timber Wolf coin.
