Unchanged since the very first issue in 1988, the solitary maple leaf that adorns the Silver Maple Leaf (SML) coin is widely regarded as a symbol for unparalleled artistry, craftsmanship and value. This signature design is from the Royal Canadian Mint celebrated the 30th anniversary of one of the world’s most sought-after bullion offerings. Unlike their bullion counterparts, the coins in this set have been produced with two different exceptional proof quality finishes, background commemorative micro-printing, and a limited mintage of just 5,000. The reverse designs feature the now-iconic image of a single maple leaf, whose superb shine and intricately etched details have remained unchanged since the SML’s debut in 1988. The fields are filled with a repeating pattern of a micro-sized maple leaf with the number “30″. This background pattern echoes one of the SML’s 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 obverses feature the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. NumisCan Coins and Jewelry is committed to providing an exceptional experience every time you shop with us.
