2013 - $10 - 1/2 oz Fine Silver Coin - Maple Leaf

For approximately 300 years, the maple leaf symbol has been associated specifically with Canada and Canadians. Canada is home to 10 maples species including the majestic Sugar Maple, favoured for its sap as well as its strong, hard wood. Entire Canadian tourism industries thrive on the Sugar Maple's glorious transformation in autumn. Visitors come from around the world to witness the maple-dominated forests' celebrated makeover; and later, in early spring, the Sugar Maple stuns once again with its sweet springtime bounty.
