2018 1oz Silver Maple - Reverse Proof - EDISON LIGHT BULB Privy

These 2018 Maple Leaf Coins feature the famous Edison Light bulb privy on a 1oz reverse proof maple design, also featuring the Mint Shield Technology.

Since the early 1800s, when the first arc lamps were demonstrated to the public, inventors among them two Canadians, Henry Woodward and Mathew Evans looked for a filament material that would not melt or burn but would produce light inside of a glass tube to be used as a light source. Eventually, it was Thomas Edison, who first patented the famous incandescent light bulb that people everywhere rely upon today.
