Designed by Canadian artist Lisa Thompson-Khan, the coin puts Canada's national symbol front and center while conveying autumn's colorful splendors! As though carried to the ground by the autumn breeze, several engraved maple leafs are positioned all along the perimeter.
The highly 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 edge. Alternating finishing techniques make each leaf distinct from the other, and together, they form a circular frame that brings the focus on a large, maple leaf-shaped Venetian glass embellishment. Handcrafted by master glass-maker Vio Col Vetro of Murano, Italy, the centered glass element is resplendent in the yellows, oranges, and reds that are associated with autumn's color palette. This coin comes packaged in a red lacquered wooden case and is enclosed in a black RCM beauty box. 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. 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 resulting one side being slightly out of focus.
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. This item is in the category "Coins & Paper Money\Coins: Canada\Commemorative".
