SPECIAL FEATURES
- A 2D DESIGN MAKES THE JUMP TO 3D: A special celebration to mark the 30-year history of our Silver Maple Leaf (SML) bullion coin, whose familiar design is re-imagined in more dimensional detail than ever
- A MINT FIRST (AND SECOND): This is only the second coin to feature high intricacy casting, but the FIRST to feature a silver-cast element on its reverse.
- SILVER AND GOLD: The design offers the best of both worlds: a 99.9% pure silver-cast maple leaf affixed to the surface of a 99.99% pure gold coin.
- REVERSE-PROOF FINISH: Like the SML, this gold coin also features a reverse proof finish, which heightens the polished shine of the silver-cast leaf that has been securely affixed to the coin’s surface
- FIRST-CLASS CRAFTSMANSHIP: High intricacy casting gives the maple leaf more dimension
and depth than otherwise possible—from the pointed edges to the controlled flow of silver
that gives the leaf an undulated appearance. - A HIGH ATTENTION TO DETAIL FROM START TO FINISH: A very low mintage makes this an exclusive collecting opportunity! To complement the exquisite design and craftsmanship, this first-class collectible is encapsulated and carefully enclosed in a luxurious wooden case, which further adds to the overall appeal.
DESIGN
The reverse is adorned with an iconic maple leaf that has been a fixture on the Silver Maple Leaf (SML) bullion coin since 1988. The engraved surface of the gold coin features a reverse proof finish, along with the words “CANADA” and “30 YEARS/ANS”, the face value “200 DOLLARS” and the double dates “1988-2018” that commemorate the SML’s 30th anniversary. But the star of the coin is the silver-cast maple leaf; highly intricate casting reproduces each
lobe’s sharply pointed edges and the deeply imprinted veins that give this undulated leaf a natural look and feel, as though it has gently come to rest after tumbling down from a tree. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
