Canada: 2017 $20 Jewel of the Rain: Sugar Maple Leaves - Pure Silver Coin with Swarovski® Crystal

Finish: Proof

Weight: 31.39

Mintage: 4500

Design: Designed by Canadian artist Lisa Thomson-Khan, your coin combines artistry with technical precision to convey the serenity and peacefulness of an autumn day in Canada. A babbling brook winds its way through this tranquil woodland setting, where the gently rippled surface of the water beckons the viewer to explore its rock-lined edge. True to its appearance in nature, the autumn colours of the sugar maple tree (Acer saccharum) on the reverse design are breathtaking, where the selective application of colour immediately draw the eyes towards the red and golden foliage above the stream. One can almost hear the cadence of a gentle rain falling onto the leaves and rolling off their serrated tips, as beautifully conveyed by the glittering, raindrop-shaped Swarovski® crystal.

Packaging: The coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon case with a black beauty box.
