This signature design is given the royal treatment on a 2 oz. Fine silver coin, as the Royal Canadian Mint celebrates the 30th anniversary of one of the worlds most sought-after bullion offerings. DESIGN This large-sized numismatic piece honours 30 years of history through its enhanced re-creation of the Silver Maple Leaf (SML) bullion coin. The reverse features the now-iconic image of a single maple leaf, whose superb shine and intricately etched details have remained unchanged since the SMLs debut in 1988. As an added commemorative element, a gold-plated scroll banner is gently wrapped around the base of the leaf; it bears the engraved words 30 YEARS/ANS, which are centrally positioned between the dates 1988 and 2018. The gold-plated rim on the reverse and obverse adds a luxurious gleam to the overall design, while the field is filled with a repeating pattern of a micro-sized maple leaf with the number 30. This background pattern echoes one of the SMLs security features, and its unique way of diffracting light results in a hologram-like effect that adds to the beauty of this extraordinary keepsake. The obverse features the gold-plated effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
