Canada 1947 ML Maple Leaf PCGS AU Details

A decent affordable choice AU (slider) example of this variety that has been lightly cleaned. Would fit right in a BU album.

In 1947, India gained its independence from the British Empire and as a result, the inscription "IND:IMP:" needed to be removed from the Obverse of the 1948 Silver Dollar. Eventually the new Obverse dies did arrive, and they began to mint the 1948 dollars midway through the year. The very low mintages of these made the 1947 Maple Leaf (mintage 21,135) and 1948 dollars (mintage 18,780) exceptionally rare, with the 1948 Silver Dollar commanding a very high market price.
