Description
The red maple (Acer rubrum) is one of the 10 Canadian maple species that collectively represent this nation, and its irregularly toothed leaf – one of the first of its kind to change colours each fall – is a sight to behold on the five coins that form this fractional set from the Royal Canadian Mint.
From the large 1 oz. coin to the tiny 1/20 oz. piece, each coin’s reverse features the same intricate portrait of an Acer rubrum twig and leaves. And for 2024, the 1 oz. coin is enhanced with selective gold plating, which mimics the warm, luminous glow of autumn sunshine.
Classic Canadiana. Own a full set of five 99.99% pure silver coins – 1 oz., 1/2 oz., 1/4 oz., 1/10 oz., and 1/20 oz. – featuring a classically styled portrait of a red maple (Acer rubrum) twig and leaves, a Canadian maple species known for its fall colours.
KEY FEATURES:
- Selective gold plating. The 1 oz. coin (the largest in this set) is enhanced with selective gold plating that highlights the maple leaves as well as the rim.
- A popular set. An annual issue, the Royal Canadian Mint’s silver fractional sets are always popular with collectors – in fact, they sell out every year.
- Low mintage. Don’t miss out on the 2024 edition, which has a low mintage of just 3,000 sets.
