The leaves are engraved with careful precision using a variety of textures to lend depth to the image. The reverse is engraved with the words "CANADA", the date "2015" and the face value of "10 DOLLARS". The obverse design features the second obverse of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II to appear on Canadian coinage in 1965, when she was 39 years old. Her Majesty wears a jeweled tiara and an elaborate gown. The effigy is encircled with the Latin legend "ELIZABETH II D. G. REGINA," which means "Elizabeth II, by the grace of God, Queen."

Did you know…

•   Canada's head of state, Her Majesty The Queen, is also head of state of fifteen other realms in the Commonwealth - a free association of fifty four like-minded countries that were once British colonies. In a constitutional monarchy such as ours, the Sovereign reigns but does not rule: power is invested in the Crown and is only "entrusted" to governments to use on behalf of the people.

•   In addition to being Sovereign of sixteen Commonwealth nations, Her Majesty serves as head of the Commonwealth - fifty-four nations that comprise a quarter of the world's population - which spans all continents with a focus on both discussion of common problems and the seeking of resolution.

•   In 2012, Her Majesty celebrated her Diamond Jubilee - the 60th anniversary of the Queen's accession to the Throne. Among realm Sovereigns, Queen Elizabeth II is only one of two monarchs to have attained a sixty-year reign. Only her great-great-grandmother, Queen Victoria, celebrated a Diamond Jubilee in 1897.

Packaging:

Each coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clam-shell case with a black beauty box.

Description

No other symbol strikes a deep, emotional chord for Canadians than the iconic maple leaf. It has become synonymous with a vast expanse of land - filled with stunning sights and places that are as diverse as the nearly 35 million people who call Canada “home.” Now, the Royal Canadian Mint celebrates the iconic maple leaf - and the rich diversity of all that it represents - with this finely detailed coin.

Special features:

• This beautiful coin offers a creative portrait of an iconic Canada. It pays tribute to the maple leaf as a national icon and all that it represents - as depicted through the use of symbols that represent Canada and its different regions.
• This stylized design has been enhanced with 5 different finishes that showcase the dynamic line work and interplay between each element that makes up the maple leaf.
• This $10 coin is certified to be 99.99% pure silver, and features pure gold plating that enhances and highlights the design's intricate details.
• For our Canadian customers, this coin is GST/HST exempt. 

Design:

This coin presents a map-like representation of Canada through the use of symbolism. The maple leaf's outline mimics Canada's geographical shape, stretching out to cover the far reaches of Canada. As though traveling from one coast to another, the Canadian Rocky Mountains and a white-tailed deer in the leaf's left-most point represent the rugged wilderness of the western provinces. Behind the deer, wheat symbolizes the grain-growing Canadian prairies. The fishing industry and the Eastern provinces are represented in the right leaf point by a fish, a boat and the famed Peggy's Point Lighthouse. A partial map of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut - home to many of Canada's native peoples - dominates the leaf's middle point, while the Tower of Peace at the base symbolizes the government and the tie that binds all Canadians together.

Did you know…

• Nova Scotia's rocky shores feature hundreds of lighthouses–but none are as famous as The Peggy's Point Lighthouse! It is one of the most photographed lighthouses in the world and it draws half a million visitors each year.
• Canada is one of the largest wheat producers in the world. Wheat is the basis for many of our foods, but it's also an ingredient for other products including adhesives, cosmetics and even concrete!
• The breathtaking Canadian Rocky Mountains (commonly known as the Rockies) offer some of the most famous and well-known mountain scenery. Nearly 50 of its peaks surpass the 3,350 meter-mark - in fact, Mount Robson's peak in British Columbia is the highest at 3,954 meters!

In his first design for the Royal Canadian Mint, Toronto-based artist Kwame Delfish has opted to look beyond the maple leaf as the sole representation of Canada. “The inspiration for my art comes to me as I go through life viewing the world–looking beyond what's directly in front of me.” His use of symbols for each region creates a unique portrait of Canada, and offers an interpretation of what the maple leaf represents when used as a national icon.

Packaging:

Each coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clam-shell protected by a black .

Description

From backpackers in Berlin to peacekeepers in Pakistan, Canadians are immediately identifiable by a singular image they faithfully sport on pins, badges, and appliqués: the red maple leaf.

This lyrical cipher has symbolized Canada and Canadians for nearly two hundred years.  Historians generally recognize the adoption of the maple leaf by Quebec's Société Saint-Jean-Baptiste in Montreal in 1836 as the first official use of the symbol to represent an element of Canadian culture.

The symbol was soon popularized in print, song, and in the small markers - such as lapel pins - with which Canadian residents of various origins honored their homelands.  The English had their roses, the Scots their thistle, the Irish their shamrocks, and the French their fleur-de-lis - and native-born Canadians quickly chose the prosaic maple leaf.

The idea of including the maple leaf on Canada's national flag took root with Lester B. Pearson in World War I, when he noted that every Canadian battalion had included some form of the maple leaf in its insignia.  Fifty years later, in 1965, under his leadership as prime minister, Canada's famous red-and-white maple leaf flag was born.

In addition to the maple leaf's presence on various provincial flags and coats of arms, the country's coinage has featured maple leaves, wreaths, and boughs in various forms for most of Canada's history.  In fact, the maple leaf was present on all Canadian coins from 1876 to 1901.  Since that time, it appeared on Canadian pennies until 2012.

Special features:

·        Third coin using this maple leaf design, second coin in our series of colored maple leaves - this year: green.  (Last year’s coin with red is in stock, as well!)

·        This coin has been struck, and translucent enamel has been added into the struck hollow maple leaf shape at the center.

·        A select addition to any numismatic collection that celebrates not only the robust Canadian spirit but also the exceptional craftsmanship offered by the Royal Canadian Mint.

·        This fine silver coin highlights the beauty and variety of the iconic maple leaf.

·        Limited worldwide maximum mintage of 7,500!

Design:

The reverse image features the impression of a colored maple leaf among smaller maple leaves.

Packaging:

Each coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clam-shell protected by a standard beauty box.
