Canadian Maple Leaf 1 oz Silver 2018
The maple is a common tree in eastern Canada. There is also a red variety of it whose leaves, when ripe, take on a deep burgundy-red colour. The maple tree was of immense economic importance to the Indians. They discovered that the incised trunk of the maple tree exuded sap - a transparent liquid with a slightly yellowish hue and a faintly sweet taste. This sap, suitably concentrated, becomes maple syrup. For Indians and colonists, maple syrup was the only source of carbohydrates during the long and harsh Canadian winters. Thus, the maple also became a symbol of survival. The maple leaf was first used as a symbol as early as 1834." The official colours of Canada are white and red. The Canadian Maple Leaf, is one of the most recognisable bullion coins in the world. It has been produced continuously since 1979 at the Royal Canadian Mint - a renowned and well-known Canadian mint among investors that offers investment in precious metals through a product that can be easily resold later at a profit. The currency is distinguished by its high liquidity when willing to buy/sell and by its particularly admired image on the reverse. The Royal Canadian Mint was officially opened in 1908 by Governor General Earl Grey, minting the first fifty-cent coin produced on Canadian soil. After the coin began to be issued, the only competitor to the coin was the South African Krugerrand, but due to the apartheid boycott, this was not available to the general public. This made the maple leaf gold coins very popular.
Obverse: the obverse features the likeness of Queen Elizabeth II, the denomination ($5). Since 2014, additional security features include radial lines in the background of the coin. The reverse of the coin depicts the maple leaf, which is the national symbol of Canada, as well as the grade in which the coin was struck (Ag .9999) and the name of the country (Canada) in which it is produced.Do you need help?
