The spinning maple seeds of summer & a perfect crystal raindrop together on a simply stunning new Silver Maple Leaf proof! In combining the beauty and simplicity of the Swarovski crystal with its unique colorization process, the Mint has produced a marriage made in heaven – and the first Canadian coin of its kind! Here we find a solitary maple leaf, caught at the precise moment when a lone raindrop, tugged by gravity, begins its descent to the forest floor. The maple is an endless source of beauty throughout the year. People most readily associate it with the breathtaking crimson and gold hues of autumn, but those with an observant eye will also recall the clusters of tiny flowers that burst forth with vibrant freshness every spring and early summer – and carpet roads and driveways with drifting yellows and greens as blossoms fall to the ground. As summer progresses, seeds will form where female flowers once were; these winged whirligigs, called “samaras”, rotate like tiny propellers as they drift to the ground or when playful hands toss them into the air. So powerful is the association between the maple leaf and Canada that you might be be surprised to learn that of the 115 species of maple trees in the world, only ten occur naturally in Canada! From the fresh new growth of spring to their ultimate expression of vibrant fall hues, the leaves of the maple enrich the Canadian landscape from coast to coast. In summer, they form a dense canopy that shields against the summer sun, as well as unexpected rain showers. When the clouds clear, the leaves shine with renewed vibrancy, their wet surfaces reflecting maximum light from the sun. But this moment of heightened beauty is short-lived. As each leaf bends under the weight of the moisture, water collects at its lowest point and begins to form a water droplet. The droplet is dynamic. It continues to grow until the leaf can no longer support its weight. The leaf curves forward, and for a fleeting moment a tear-shaped drop of water hangs between heaven and earth before falling to the ground – a tiny echo of the life-giving rain that passed a few moments earlier. This is the tenth (and lowest mintage) in the series of annual Color Silver Maple Leafs. Stunning in its artistry, beauty and simplicity, this new pure silver proof in the Color Silver Maple Leaf Series ups the ante with a few twists. These upgrades to this most popular of annual programs include: 1. The lowest mintage limit ever. (10,000) to date for a Color Silver Maple Leaf! Before the innovations of the past two year’s Crystal Raindrop Color Silver Maple Leafs, all the previous coins in the Color Silver Maple Leafs Series feature the specimen finish. In fact, this is only the 4th proof-finish SML ever (including the 1989 proof SML). A new, much higher denomination! A genuine Swarovski crystal! Not only is this only the second color SML in the series to feature a crystal, it’s also only the fourth Royal Canadian Mint coin ever to combine a crystal with color! Taken together, these upgrades create the most unique coin in the series – and a work of unparalleled gorgeousness! We believe that this coin presents an entry-level investment opportunity in a relatively low-priced proof. A quick sell out was expected and occurred as predicted.

Swarovski is the luxury brand name for the range of precision-cut crystal glass products produced by the privately-owned company Swarovski AG of Feldmeilen, Austria near Zürich. Swarovski crystal was born when a Bohemian, Daniel Swarovski, invented >an automatic cutting machine in 1892. In 1895 the Swarovski company was founded when he established a crystal cutting factory in Wattens (near Innsbruck, Tyrol, Austria). Here he could take advantage of local hydroelectricity for the energy-intensive grinding processes he had patented. Swarovski crystal contains approximately 32% lead to maximize refraction. The Swarovski Crystal firm produces a wide range range of products, but is world-renowned for the incredible quality and brilliance of its crystal jewelry. In order to create a crystal that allows light to refract in a rainbow spectrum, Swarovski coats some of its crystals with special metallic chemical coatings. For example, Aurora Borealis, or “AB”, is one of the most popular coatings, and gives the surface a rainbow oil slick appearance. Recent developments include the 2004 release of a new, patented cut, Xilion, designed to optimize the brilliance of roses (crystal components with flat backs) and chatons (diamond-cut crystals).
Bugs Bunny stands in the center with his arms outstretched in a true entertainer’s pose, while below him sits the Tasmanian Devil, whose tongue hangs out of his mouth as he flashes his goofy grin. Peering over Bugs’ right shoulder is the amorous skunk, Pepé Le Pew, accompanied by the black cat that is always the object of Pepé’s affections. Appearing over Bugs’ left shoulder are Daffy Duck and Sylvester, both bearing wide smiles. Last but not least is Tweety, whose diminutive size allows him to sit on Bugs’ head as he extends his arms out as well.

What is a Piedfort? Hard to find and popular with collectors for more than a century, piedforts are highly sought after. We get asked all the time, What is a piedfort? ” There are two different, but related, stories of the origin of the word “piedfort. The first says that it literally means “strong foot” in French from. The second says this word was appropriated by the mint centuries ago to mean “heavy measure” or “heavy weight”. In both cases, the sense of serious heft to the coin is obvious. Often the word “piedfort” is translated as “double-thick”, but this is neither a literal translation nor a precisely accurate definition. Numismatically speaking, any coin that is 50% or more thicker than a standard version qualifies as a piedfort, although some piedforts are, indeed, twice as thick as normal. Finally, the age-old question, How is the word pronounced? ” Coming from French, it is not pronounced as it is spelled; that is, don’t say, “pide – fort. Rather, “pee – ay – four” (three syllables) is a good approximation. Here is the exception. Remember, every SML collector needs this coin, so it’s a sure bet that there won’t be enough to go around and that the Mint will sell out much sooner than later.
