A forest of giant Bigleaf Maple trees is caught just after a rainstorm, with a perfect crystal raindrop gently bending the leaf on a simply stunning new Silver Maple Leaf proof in full color!

A Stunning, Naturalistic Work of Original Art. This breathtaking coin design by Canadian nature artist Caren Heine depicts a forest of giant Bigleaf Maple trees, stretched along a tranquil forest trail, drawn from the captivating perspective of the viewer. Selective full color showcases the super-sized leaves of the Bigleaf Maple. The tree’s preferred type of terroir and environment is evident in the scene while the element of rain is expressed through the raindrop-shaped, genuine Swarovski Crystal element that bends the Bigleaf Maple leaf in the foreground – a true “Jewel of the Rain”! The Bigleaf is one of the largest and fastest-growing maple trees in Canada, a true giant among maples! Reaching heights of up to 125 feet (35 meters), this elegant maple is well named: its shiny, dark green, five-lobed leaves average a full foot across (30 cm), with two foot wide leaves not impossible! The Bigleaf Maple has by far the largest leaves of any maple tree in North America. When this proud western native tree grows in the humid, crowded Pacific forest, it can often be found with its bark and branches draped in epiphytic moss and ferns, lending a spirit of enchantment to its majestic silhouette. In early spring, yellow-green flowers hang in clusters at its twig-ends. These sweet, edible delights attract deer and other animals to the saplings. The flower is soon followed by fruit: a pair of graceful, furry, winged seeds (samaras). Native American peoples have long been attracted to the Bigleaf Maple for its savory sap, sweet flowers, and close-grained hardwood. This is the thirteenth (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, including a Swarovski Crystal raindrop! These upgrades to this most popular of annual programs include: 1. The lowest mintage limit ever. For a Color Silver Maple Leaf! Before the innovations of the previous five Crystal Raindrop Color Silver Maple Leafs, all the previous coins in the Color Silver Maple Leafs Series feature the specimen finish. A genuine Swarovski crystal! This only the sixth color SML in the series to feature a crystal! 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 is expected. For more information about Swarovski crystals of Austria, please see the presentation at the end of this article. The Royal Canadian Mint leads the world with its proprietary colorization technology, in which the color is actually sealed on the coin. The intricate detail, smooth gradients, and extreme precision of the technology create a stunning look on each coin. The Royal Canadian Mint refines the purest silver in the world. This one troy ounce silver coin is 99.99% pure! A beautiful, full-color image of Bigleaf Maple forest, with a vibrantly hued Bigleaf Maple leaf, yielding to the weight of a single raindrop, represented by a genuine Swarovski crystal. The date and denomination are both indicated. A cameo frosted proof portrait of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, in profile facing right. This portrait, the fourth effigy of the queen to appear on Canadian coinage, was executed by the artist Susanna Blunt. The legend ELIZABETH II D. REGINA (“Elizabeth II, Queen by the Grace of God”) also appears. The coin is encapsulated inside a burgundy leatherette, clamshell-style presentation case, lined with black velvet and protected by a black outer box. An individually-numbered certificate of authenticity is included. Proof with Color and Swarovski Crystal. 9999 Fine (Pure) Silver. 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, Switzerland). 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).
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.

Anticipation builds as the sky turns grey-and finally releases the season’s first snowfall. A cascade of crystalline stars drifts down to earth in the hush of winter’s still crisp air; it will take a million of them to cover 60 square centimetres of ground with 25 cm of snow. Snowflakes are born high in the atmosphere. They start out as tiny molecules of water vapour that freeze around particles in the air. As they fall, they stick to each other and grow larger, shaped by the wind, moisture and temperature. Each snowflake follows a different path and is affected by the elements in different ways. As a result, no two snowflakes are exactly alike-each one boasts a beauty and design all its own. This stunning coin captures the sparkle and allure of one of nature’s most transient beauties, freezing it in time for you to enjoy all year round. Delicate snowflakes reveal the infinite diversity of crystalline sculptures that fill the air during a snowfall. An emerald Swarovski Element marks the heart of the gorgeous snowflake design, its six delicate arms studded with clear oblong Swarovski Elements. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. The Silver Coin comes encapsulated in Royal Canadian Mint maroon clamshell case, black box and Certificate of Authenticity. Product by: Royal Canadian Mint.
