RE: 2024 Canadian Silver Maple Leaf

I don't know if its just me, or if others feel the same, but Charles picture on coins feels just weird. Like, wrong somehow. Its the queen's picture you expect to see, its been like that "ever since". At least during my life. And she was my boss for 34 years, and her picture was hanging in the office, until I retired. A different person just doesn't seem right.

Wow, did you used to work at Buckingham Palace? Or in the UK government service, @beatminister?
I miss her too. in coins! So much of my coins have her is the obverse.
!BBH

No, not quite Buckingham Palace, but in the military. :)
And every office had a portrait picture, or the famous ER II crest, or both. Officially she was the CIC of all armed forces of the UK, not the MoD or the Prime Minister. And the royals made frequent visits to regiments. Man, that was always a big fuzz and everybody was on edge then.
Yeah, it feels strange now with Charles. I don't yet have a coin with his image. Don't know if I ever will. The time for buying silver is coming to an end, I guess. And my stock pile is sufficient... :)

It must be a major production when they come visit, !LOL
What an honor!
You've got to have at least one with Charles, for posterity! Who knows if he will be a monarch for a long time.
Yeah, my stack, especially of silver, is getting out of hand. The ratios are nowhere and the opportunity to convert into gold is nil. But I keep buying.

What do you call an island populated entirely by cakes?
Desserted!
