The Royal Canadian Mint's lunar series has always been aimed squarely at the overseas Chinese collector market, where demand for silver bullion pieces tied to the traditional zodiac calendar is substantial and reliable. The 2015 Year of the Sheep issue was struck in .9999 fine silver — four nines purity, which the RCM adopted aggressively in the 2010s as a competitive differentiator against the Perth Mint's dominant lunar program.
Mintage on these issues was capped rather than open-ended, a policy shift from earlier RCM collector silver that had been produced to demand.
