Design: Your large-sized numismatic coin honours 30 years of history through its enhanced re-creation of the Silver Maple Leaf (SML) bullion coin. Your coin features 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. 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 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 obverse features the gold-plated effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. Packaging: Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell with a black beauty box.
