| Additional information |
Part of the Royal Canadian Mint's ongoing licensing arrangement with Warner Bros., this issue belongs to a Looney Tunes series that began appearing in Canadian numismatic catalogs around 2015. The RCM has long used character licensing as a mechanism for driving collector sales outside the traditional numismatic market — these pieces move through gift shops and novelty channels as often as through coin dealers.
The .9999 fine silver specification is consistent with the Mint's collector bullion standards of the period, pushing purity above the .999 floor more common among competitors.
