2019 - $15 - Pure Silver Coin - Golden Maple Leaf

The maple leaf is a Canadian emblem that has defined many of Canada's circulation coins. A true classic, the 19th-century design of two crossed maple boughs (from 1858 to 1936) helped inspire this pure silver coin, whose reverse is a 21st-century celebration of Canada's beloved maple leaf. Your finely engraved coin mixes past and present elements. Look closely at the rim—we've even included denticles that traditionally framed the bow-tied boughs on some of our earlier coins. All of these elements surround the main focal point: a gold-plated maple leaf. Made from sterling silver and carefully sculpted to achieve a natural look, the 3D leaf adds contrast and dimension that takes our maple-themed celebration to new heights, while the maple leaf's gold plating evokes memories of a fall day.
