Silver Super Incuse Maple Leaf Black Rhodium Reverse Proof 2-pc Set NGC PF70 First Day of Issue w/Black. Gold Super Incuse Maple Leaf Black Rhodium Reverse Proof & 1522. Silver Super Incuse Maple Leaf Black Rhodium Reverse Proof.

For the 2023 edition, we've combined two stand-out features-black rhodium plating from 2020, and the 1.5 mm super incuse depth that set a new standard in 2021-to give our classic Gold Maple Leaf (GML) design a bolder, more modern edge. This special edition of the GML is a study in contrasts: it mixes standard raised relief with a super-incused strike, black with gold, and a reverse proof finish (frosted field, brilliant relief) with the sleek satin look of black rhodium plating.

The result is a fresh take on a classic design-it's contemporary, it's captivating, and it is sure to leave a lasting impression. Black rhodium and super incuse-a bold combination for 2023. First Ever Super Incuse Silver & Gold Maple Leaf Coins With Black Rhodium. While not yet official, it is extremely likely that 2023 will be the last year that the Royal Canadian Mint (RCM) strikes the late Queen Elizabeth II's effigy on the obverse of its ever-popular Maple Leaf coin series.

But these 2023 Super Incuse Maples struck using the same groundbreaking technology used on the 2021 and 2022 Super Incuse Maples and crafted with a selective arrangement of Black Rhodium plating, are even more special, embodying the feeling of mourning. On the reverse, a lonely, black maple leaf struck deep into the center of the coin seems to represent a country still grieving. Yet on the obverse, black fields and a polished effigy presents Queen Elizabeth II as a radiant silver and gold light shining in the darkness. Simply put, these coins are breathtaking!

Rhodium: The Rarest Of All Non-Radioactive Metals. Rhodium is the rarest of all non-radioactive metals. In order to achieve this dark, near-black look, layers of black rhodium are built up to a precise level to achieve just the right color-presenting a special challenge for RCM engineers who successfully found a way to apply this rhodium plating with the same consistency on every coin.

The look is utterly amazing thanks in part to the Reverse Proof finish exhibited by each coin. Different from a regular proof coin that features frosted details rising over mirror-like fields, a Reverse Proof displays mirror-like details rising over frosted fields.
