It has been 30 years since the Silver Maple Leaf was first issued, and the Royal Canadian Mint has produced a special edition of the coin for its 30th anniversary.
"We've paid homage to the Silver Maple Leaf and we've come up with a special design for it," said Gabriel Khan, Product Manager for the Royal Canadian Mint.
Like all RCM coins, state-of-the art security features are added to the Silver Maple Leaf.
"On this coin we have the radio lines, which act as a security mark," Khan said, "also, we have the micro-engraved Maple Leaf, and inside that leaf, it shows the year of issue."
