how many ounces of silver are in a canadian silver dollar

[AaliyahLynn]

Based on the provided information, a Canadian silver dollar contains 0.6 troy ounces of silver. This figure is standard for the silver dollars that were minted for general circulation by the Royal Canadian Mint.

Specifically, Canadian silver dollars produced from 1935 until 1967 were composed of 80% silver and 20% copper. The total weight of one of these coins is 23.33 grams. When calculating the actual silver weight (ASW), the total weight is multiplied by the silver purity (23.33 grams x 0.80), resulting in 18.66 grams of pure silver. This amount is equivalent to the commonly cited 0.6 troy ounces, which is the standard unit of measurement for precious metals. Therefore, when assessing the bullion value of these coins, the key metric is the 0.6 troy ounces of actual silver content.
