The 1 oz Silver Maple Leaf Solar System Neptune 2022 coin is a valuable collector's coin dedicated to the fascinating planet Neptune. With a limited mintage of only 2,500 pieces worldwide, it is a sought-after collector's item.
The Our Solar System series, released by the Royal Canadian Mint, honours the nine planets of our solar system. The planet Neptune is the ninth motif in this series. The design of the coin shows Neptune in an icy blue, surrounded by the black of the night sky and sparkling stars.
Neptune is the eighth and outermost planet in our solar system. It is so far from Earth that it is invisible to the naked eye. Due to its great distance from the Sun, it receives very little heat and is extremely cold, with temperatures ranging from -201°C to -218°C. Interestingly, Neptune emits more energy than it absorbs from the Sun, which means it should be even colder. With a diameter of about 50,000 kilometers, Neptune is one of the ice giants.
The obverse of the coin features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, Head of State of Canada, as well as the coin’s face value of 5 CAD and the year of minting, 2022.
