2018 - $50 - 5 oz. Pure Silver Convex Coin - Maple Leaves in Motion

Canada's dearest symbol tells many stories: the story of an indigenous civilization that found in its dense wood and sweet sap two excellent resources. The story of an emerging nation that adopted the maple leaf as its prime identifier. And the story of this beautiful tree's annual cycle, from early springtime's sap run to the final rainbow of fall colour before winter's sleep. The maple has been an important Canadian resource from time immemorial, its leaf a Canadian symbol for nearly 200 years, and the vast forests it dominates a favourite place for Canadians to enjoy and explore.
