Description
Unchanged since the very first issue in 1988, the solitary maple leaf that adorns the Silver Maple Leaf (SML) coin is widely regarded as a symbol for unparalleled artistry, craftsmanship and value. This signature design is given the royal treatment on these two fine silver coins, as the Royal Canadian Mint celebrates the 30th anniversary of one of the world’s most sought-after bullion offerings. With mintage set to 5,000, this beautiful keepsake set has a beauty of its own and may be just as sought-after as the SML itself. HST/GST exempt.
The Design:
These two coins honour the 30 years of history through its enhanced re-creation of the Silver Maple Leaf (SML) bullion coin. The reverse designs feature the now-iconic image of a single maple leaf, whose superb shine and intricately etched details have remained unchanged since the SML’s debut in 1988. The fields are filled with a repeating pattern of a micro-sized maple leaf with the number “30”. This background pattern echoes one of the SML’s security features, and its unique way of diffracting light results in a hologram-like effect that adds to the beauty of this extraordinary keepsake. The obverses feature the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
