VERY RARE AND HARD TO FIND. Features a silver-cast 3D maple leaf on a 99.99% pure gold coin! It has been 30 years since our Silver Maple Leaf (SML) bullion coin made its debut, yet its signature design still resonates with investors and collectors worldwide. In honour of the SML’s 30th anniversary, this exquisite tribute “lifts” the bullion coin’s iconic maple leaf off its engraved reverse and gently deposits it here as a 3D design element. Your coin’s 2D design makes the jump to 3D, thanks to high-intricacy casting! A 2D DESIGN MAKES THE JUMPTO 3D! A special celebration to markthe 30-year history of our Silver Maple Leaf (SML) bullion coin, whose familiar design is re-imagined in more dimensional detail than ever. A MINT FIRST (AND SECOND)! This is only the second coin to feature high intricacy casting, but the FIRST to feature a silver-cast element on its reverse. The design offers the best of both worlds: a 99.9% pure silver-cast maple leaf (nominal weight of 1.90 grams) affixed to the surface of a 99.99% pure gold coin (nominal metal weight of 31.16 grams). In addition, your coin has no GST/HST. Like the SML, your gold coin also features a reverse proof finish, which heightens the polished shine of the silver-cast leaf that has been securely affixed to your coin’s surface. High intricacy casting gives the maple leaf more dimension and depth than otherwise possible-fromthe pointed edges to the controlled flow of silver that gives the leaf an undulated appearance. A HIGH ATTENTION TO DETAIL FROM START TO FINISH! To complement the exquisite design and craftsmanship, your first-class collectible coin is encapsulated and carefully enclosed in a luxuriouswooden case, which further adds to the overall appeal. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins. Most of these are serialized certifications, meaning that each certificate is given a unique number, starting at 1. Your coin has a limited worldwide mintage of just 375. Your coin re-imagines the iconic maple leaf that has beena fixture on the Silver Maple Leaf (SML) bullion coin since 1988. But the star of the coin is the silver-cast maple leaf; highly intricate casting reproduces each lobe’s sharply pointed edges and the deeply imprinted veins that give this undulated leaf a natural look and feel, as though it has gently come to rest after tumbling down from a tree. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded premium wooden case.
