2018'Shaped 30th Anniversary of the SML' Prf $20 Fine Silver 1oz Coin(18468)OOAK

30TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SILVER MAPLE LEAF. The Royal Canadian Mint proudly celebrates 30 years of an icon with a maple leaf-shaped tribute to the Silver Maple Leaf(SML) bullion coin. A symbol of unparalleled beauty, craftsmanship and value, the SML’s signature design is beautifully re-created on this commemorative piece, where it appears not once but three times – one leaf each decade of success. A silver maple leaf (Acer saccharinum) provides a fitting and uniquely shaped canvas for this celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Silver Maple Lead (SML). A fixture on the SML’s reverse since 1988, the solitary maple leaf is re-created in the upper lobe of the maple leaf-shape coin, where it is accompanied by the double commemorative dates “1988″ and “2018″. Finely detailed engraving re-creates the leaf’s venation for a more natural look to the coin, the leaf, as well as the two smaller-sized versions that flank the legend “30 YEARS ANS”. The reverse includes the Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Arnold Machin. An ICON within an emblem: A proud symbol of Canada, the maple leaf provides a uniquely shaped canvas for this 30th anniversary celebration of the Silver Maple Leaf(SML). A LEAF FOR EVERY DECADE: Easily recognized by its slightly curved petiole, the SML’s signature maple leaf becomes part of coin’s reverse design, where it appears three rimes – a leaf for each decade! THE MARK OF FINE CRAFTSMANSHIP: The maple leaf’s serrated edges and distinctive veining are re-created thanks to meticulous engraving, which remains faithful to the SML’s design but also adds a touch of natural beauty to all three sizes of leaves – including the coin itself.
