MAPLE LEAVES – 2018 $10 1/2 oz Fine Silver Coin – Royal Canadian Mint
Nature. History. Identity. Pride. From the forests of eastern Canada to its seat of honour at the centre of our nation’s flag, the sugar maple leaf carries a wealth of significance for Canadians.
SPECIAL FEATURES
The quintessential Canadian symbol, a sugar maple leaf, shines bright in 99.99% pure silver!
Seldom seen on coins issued by other mints, this coin’s specimen finish pairs the brilliant relief with a lined (matte) background to place the emphasis on the engraving.
NEW: Each coin comes packaged in a display-ready presentation folder, that allows you to remove the coin from its capsule for closer viewing, should you wish to do so!
A collector favourite, and a perennial bestseller that is also GST/HST exempt
Yours to give or keep, this classic Canadian coin is the perfect size and price for starting a new collection or adding to an existing one.

Finely detailed engraving adds a life-like quality to this reverse design by Celia Godkin. A beloved Canadian emblem, Acer saccharum is easily identified by the distinctive shape of the two leaves featured in this natural portrait.

The maple twig also bears three u-shaped, double- winged fruits that extend from slender stalks..
