Another of those unusual weight silver bullion coins has launched and it's the second in the Royal Canadian Mint's Howling Wolf series of ¾oz coins. Like the first coin released in 2015, this one is exclusive to APMEX, a huge US-based coin/bullion dealer. Continuing on with a design that's a mix between the radial [...]
The worlds second biggest selling silver bullion coin after the ubiquitous American Silver Eagle (ASE), the Canadian Silver Maple Leaf can be found and purchased just about everywhere silver coins are sold.

First pictures of the 2016 Somali Elephant bullion coin have appeared online in golden form.
