Coloured coin – “beautiful enamel-like paint”. Gorgeous reverse proof finish and design. It is in perfect condition and is minted to the standard of 99.99% purity!! It is also minted using a reverse proof finish (meaning that the background is satin finish and the elements are in a brilliant finish). Your coin will be sent to you in its original capsule. No certificate is included. Its red-and-white design is a study in simple sophistication; its maple leaf, a world-renowned symbol that expresses Canadian identity and pride. Canada’s maple leaf flag turns 60 in 2025, and that milestone anniversary is commemorated in this coin taken from the fractional set. As a special feature on only the 1 oz coin from the set: A touch of modern innovation in the form of a micro-text privy mark and brand new paint technology, enamel-like paint, which mimics the look of colour enamel while allowing the engraving to shine through. Celebrate the 60th anniversary of Canada’s flag. Engraved micro-text (“CANADA”) forms the partial leaf that “marks” the occasion on 1 oz. This coin features a sugar maple leaf, while the leaf on the National Flag of Canada is described as a stylized 11-point maple leaf. The original flag design featured a leaf with 13 points but the symbol proved to be harder to recognize from a distance or in windy conditions, so two of the leaf’s points were omitted. PHOTOS: Note that the photos I post in my listings are stock photo images. However, for items like this one where the products are brand new from the mint and are identical the photo posted in the listing is a STOCK photo meaning that the photos represent the item you will be getting. Normally there is almost no difference between the photo you see in the listing and the actual product you are sent. Certificate numbers (if shown in a photo) are an example of something that will not be the same in the item you receive. Member of Royal Canadian Numismatic Association. Be sure to add me to your.
