They have quarter ounce silver worth $25. half ounce silver worth $10, their 1 oz. maple is $5, and they also have 1 oz. coins worth $50 and $100. Their 1.5 oz polar bear and arctic fox are $8. And right now on this coin, we have a 2 oz gold and and a 2oz silver coin. The price in dollars is 30 to 1, the face value is just north of 8 to 1, while the GSR stands at 74 to 1.
I will be the first one to admit that I am not a rocket surgeon, but I am having trouble with the maths.
