The maple leaf has grown to become a powerful Canadian symbol from its humble roots at the start of the 18th century. To the first settlers, the leaf meant feelings of hope, opportunity and freedom; today, the emblem continues to represent all those things on an international scale. This coin is presented in a stellar one-kilogram of 99.99% fine silver, and displays a bright and beautiful design of two maple leaves, individually filled in with bright red and green enamel to represent the changing seasons of Canada’s beauty. The background of this large coin shows graphic sun beams, accented with matte and brilliant finishes. The details of the leaves with the addition of bright, translucent enamel make this a sculpted work of art. This coin presents a unique collecting opportunity, as it boasts a low mintage of only 600.
