This gorgeous silver coin is not-to-be-missed; with a fresh, light new perspective on the exemplary Canadian maple leaf, one could almost imagine looking up into an autumn sky to watch these gentle leaves fall slowly to earth. A fantastic feature of this coin is that this is the highest relief the Royal Canadian Mint has achieved on a 5oz blank-the meticulous process involves each blank being struck multiple times, then polished by hand for a mirror-like shine. This technique, usually reserved for large medals and medallions, results in a wildly three-dimensional finish, turning the surface of the coin into a sculpture. Presented in a stunning red lacquered wooden box, this coin makes an incredible-and valuable-keepsake.
