An offbeat addition to the coin collecting realm, this interesting issue depicts the cannabis leaf on a gilded, one ounce, 99.9% pure silver base.
I've never come into contact with this particular plant... so I cannot begin to consider why it would be so popular. I'm led to believe that some have a very high opinion of it but I'm not sure if they are blowing smoke up my proverbial. Certainly, the joint view is that the market for this coin is lit, and that soon... the limited edition of 499 pieces will go BONG - and will no longer be available.
