The strong, resilient, and
bountiful sugar maple has long been a symbol of Canada. Beloved Acer saccharum,
found readily across this land's rugged northeastern forests, has
something to offer all year long, from the shade provided by its broad
leaves in summer and the glory of its vibrant red, purple, and orange
leaves in autumn to the delicious wonder of its sap in springtime. From
this nation's earliest years, Canadians have adopted the image of the
maple leaf to represent Canada and its people, and since 1964 this
symbol has held a place of honour at the centre of Canada's flag.
Special features:
• A FIRST! The 1 oz coin has been accented by a rich translucent red enamel that allows the natural contours of the leaf to show through.
• A FIRST! This rare set features 5 silver sugar
maple leaf-themed coins struck using a unique incuse technique, in
one-ounce and fractional denominations.
• The image of the sugar maple leaves is enhanced with a reverse
proof finish, highlighting the shine of each leaf against the frosted
background. The design has a vintage feel to it, a classic and elegant
style you will enjoy.
• The Royal Canadian Mint's world-renowned purity standard 99.99% brings exclusivity and prestige to the set.
• A limited mintage is sure to make this a sought-after set for
collectors around the world. Previous silver fractional sets have sold

Design:
All five coins feature a sugar maple leaf surrounded by a decorative
scroll struck incuse into the frosted field, imprinting the texture of
the leaf beneath the surface of the fine silver coin - an ingenious
technique perfected by Royal Canadian Mint engravers. The 1oz coin has
been accented with a rich red translucent enamel, filling the entire
maple leaf.
Packaging:
Your coins are presented in a clamshell case with a graphic beauty box.
