This very affordable 2017 $10 Maple Leaves Coin features a weight of 0.51 Troy Ounces of pure silver and is inspired by Canada’s iconic penny. With a limited mintage of just 30,000 pieces, this coin is a must-have for both collectors and investors alike.
The Design:
Engraved by Royal Canadian Mint artists, the design reflects the traditional look from the Canadian one-cent coin used from 1937 to 2012—except for the 1967 centennial issue. The design, originally conceived by G.E. Kruger-Gray, showcases a maple twig with two leaves. The larger leaf gracefully overlaps the smaller leaf, and below this striking image is the unique commemorative text that reads “150 YEARS/ANS,” adding to its collectible nature.
