Description
The maple leaf will shine brighter than ever during Canada's 150th year, and this must-have set celebrates the nation's most eminent symbol with four silver fractional coins that evoke the rich diversity of maple leaves found throughout this great land. From the ten species that grow from coast to coast in Canada, to the endless designs that grace everything from official crests and corporate logos to team jerseys and coffee mugs; large or small, the maple leaf always inspires a sense of freedom, home and pride. This set features leaves from the silver maple (
Acer saccharinum
), a species native to Canada, and a focal point of Canada's National Flag. The text layout echoes that of the famous Silver Maple Leaf bullion coins — yet another notable Canadian achievement embodied by the beloved maple leaf!

Design:
Stan Witten, a Canadian artist and senior engraver at the Royal Canadian Mint, has created an overlay design of three silver maple leaves, each leaf becoming progressively smaller and selectively enhanced with its own distinctive finish. The leaves are from the silver maple and are executed in a timeless, classical style with a unique double-date (1867-2017) flanking the stalk of the largest leaf.
Packaging:
Each coin in this set is encapsulated and all four are presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell protected by a black beauty box.  Please note that the accompanying photos of the clamshell and beauty box are centered on the top side; only a portion of each is shown

“
Unsearched”
—
All of the coins offered in this listing are “unsearched”.
Many coin dealers “search” all coins when they are received from the Mint.  They "cherry-pick" the best coins.  Then submit them to be graded, certified, and slabbed by PCGS, NGC, ANACS, etc.  These graded and certified coins are then sold at higher, premium prices.  When a dealer searches coins, those that they sell in original Mint packaging are only lesser quality coins.
Photos:
When a listing offers multiples of the same coin, one coin is picked at random and photographed.  Since all coins offered in that listing are essentially identical, the coin photographed is representative of all coins offered.
Surface areas that appear black on some proof coin photos are actually highly polished, mirror-bright metal reflecting the color of the camera. We often include proof coin photos with the coin slightly tilted to better depict the mirror bright surfaces.  However, tilting the coin may
result in
one side being
slightly
out of focus.  Please review all of the photos provided to obtain the best understanding of the coin's actual
appearance.
Our goal is to provide clear, high definition photos that accurately represent the coin(s) offered in each of our eBay listings.  Whenever possible, we use actual photos of our coins, rather than just stock artwork from the Mint.  We frequently update and upgrade the photos that appear with our listings, using improved cameras and lenses and better lighting.  We will honor your requests for additional photos as quickly as our schedule permits.
