Canada: 2018 $30 Golden Maple Leaf Pure Silver Coin

Finish: Proof

Composition: 99.99% Silver

Mintage: 2750

Design: Designed by Canadian artist Michelle Grant, your coin takes a multi-layered approach to celebrating one of Canada's most famous leaves. Crafted from one gram of 18-karat gold, the maple leaf adds a sense of elegance, dimension and realism—especially its natural golden hue, which is in keeping with the sugar maple's fall colours. Its deeply etched veins are prominent while its pointed edges are slightly bent, evoking the shape of a fallen leaf coming to rest on an engraved bed of classically stylized maple leaves. Behind it, the use of frosted and proof finishes fill the field to re-create the bands of Canada's national flag, as a visual representation of soaring pride for this nation's natural legacy. The reverse also features the engraved word "CANADA" and the face value "30 DOLLARS". The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.

Packaging: The coin is encapsulated and presented in a maroon Royal Canadian Mint clamshell case, it is protected by a black beauty box.
