An incredible first in the history of the Royal Canadian Mint. This fine Silver coin is uniquely shaped as a beautiful maple leaf, an impressive achievement in minting. This coin is presented in a special wooden case complete with a viewing window in the lid. Obverse: The effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II appears in the middle of the leaf. Reverse: The familiar shape of a maple leaf-specifically that of the silver maple (Acer saccharinum) species. Here, the coin's unique shape accentuates the palmate leaf's beautifully serrated edges.
An intricate series of deep veins are rendered with finely detailed engraving, as they run through each of the leaf's five pointed, tapering lobes. A stunning, one-of-a-kind addition to any collection. Limited mintage of only 15,000 coins.
