Canadian Maple Leaf – Twin Maples 2 oz Silver Various Years

Canadian Maple Leaf – Twin Maples 2 oz Silver is an intriguing edition of one of the world’s most recognizable bullion series, issued by the Royal Canadian Mint. The coin stands out not only for its increased weight of 2 troy ounces, but also for its unique reverse design, which departs from the classic image of a single maple leaf.

The standard Maple Leaf series takes its name from Walter Ott’s iconic maple leaf design, which has become one of Canada’s most important symbols. In reality, however, the national symbol encompasses many species of maple. Inspired by this, the Twin Maples issue was created, featuring two sugar maple leaves (Acer saccharum), a species especially strongly associated with Canadian national identity.

The coin is struck from .9999 fine silver, has a face value of 10 Canadian dollars, and holds the status of legal tender in Canada. Its diameter is 38 mm, and the reeded edge emphasizes its classic mint character. The offered specimens come from various years of issue, selected randomly from the available stock.

As befits Royal Canadian Mint products, the coin is equipped with advanced anti-counterfeiting security features. These include radial lines in the background, a micro-engraved miniature maple leaf with the year mark, and Bullion DNA technology, which enables authenticity verification in the mint’s database using specialized scanners.

Obverse: The coin features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. The surrounding inscriptions include the monarch’s name, the Latin title D.G. REGINA, and the face value 10 DOLLARS.

Reverse: Designed by Celia Godkin, it depicts two sugar maple leaves, from which the Twin Maples issue takes its name. Along the rim are inscriptions indicating the purity, metal, and weight in English and French: 9999 FINE SILVER 2 OZ ARGENT PUR 9999.

Note! The coin is shipped in a zip-lock bag.
