Celebrate Autumn Radiance with the first-ever Murano Venetian Glass 5 Ounce Pure Silver Maple Leaf with this unique, one-year-only-design and a very low mintage limit! NGC PF69 certified coin! When Canada introduced the first Silver Maple Leaf in 1988, who knew that these would become the most popular and collected series of Canadian coins in history? Now, nearly 30 years later, the Mint is again making history with this huge, stunning pure silver proof! The Mint’s first-ever five troy ounce SML embellished with Murano Venetian glass, this coin features a handsome, one-year-only maple leaf design, commissioned specifically by the Mint from Canadian artist Lisa Thomson-Khan! It is a pure silver Silver Maple Leaf. The mintage is very small. Multiple, alternating finishes make each leaf of the border distinct from all the others. Then there’s the Murano Venetian glass maple leaf – the largest such embellishment ever featured on a coin! Each glass maple leaf is unique. No two are the same because each is individually handcrafted, with the rich reds, oranges and golds of autumn radiance melded together in a hypnotic swirl that’s immediately recognizable as the work of a master artisan. Each sizable beauty is presented in a red lacquered wooden display case. If you’re a savvy investor or just a numismatist who loves beauty, take advantage of this exclusive opportunity! Because of the popularity of Silver Maple Leafs, the huge size, the application of Murano Venetian glass technology, and the extremely low mintage limit, a quick sell out was expected and has occurred. We recommend immediate action if you wish to secure one of these proof five ouncers for your collection. You will not want to delay! A Truly Unique Silver Maple Leaf! This clever and innovative design by Canadian artist Lisa Thompson-Khan puts Canadas national symbol front and center, while conveying the radiance and splendor of autumns storied hues! As though carried to the ground by the autumn breeze, several engraved maple leaves are positioned all around the perimeter. Extraordinarily detailed engraving gives them a life-like quality by recreating the veins that run through each lobe; the gentle furl of a fallen leaf; and their unmistakably serrated edges. Alternating finishes make each leaf distinct from the others, so that together they form a circular frame that shines the spotlight on the pièce-de-résistance, a large, jewel-like, maple leafshaped Venetian glass embellishment. Handcrafted by master glass-maker Giuliano Donaggio of Murano, Italy, the central glass element is resplendent in the fall paleette – the reds, yellows, oranges and golds that are associated autumn’s color explosion! Technology Note – Murano Glass. The Royal Canadian Mint is the only mint to feature an embellishment of high-quality, prized Venetian glass from Murano, Italy on its coins!
