The perfect piece to start or grow a new collection!

• HALF-OUNCE 99.99% PURE SILVER COIN! The quintessential Canadian symbol, a sugar maple leaf, shines bright in 99.99% pure silver!

• BEAUTIFUL COIN FINISH! Seldom seen on coins issued by other mints, your coin's specimen finish pairs the brilliant relief with a lined (matte) background to place the emphasis on the engraving.

Finely detailed engraving adds a life-like quality to your coin's 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. Attached to the twig by its petiole, each sugar maple leaf seemingly reaches for the opposite side of the coin while revealing the deeply etched veins that run through their palmate lobes, towards the pointed tips. The maple twig also bears three u-shaped, double-winged fruits that extend from slender stalks. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth by Susanna Blunt.

Your coin comes packaged in a display-ready presentation folder.
