2021 Canadian Fine Silver 5-Coin Fractional Set - Our Arboreal Emblem: The Maple Tree

2021 Canadian Fine Silver 5-Coin Fractional Set - Our Arboreal Emblem: The Maple Tree

It's a maple-themed celebration… with a twist! The 2021 fractional set celebrates the maple tree's 25-year (and counting) reign as the national arboreal emblem of Canada. All five coins feature the Silver Maple Leaf bullion design on the reverse, where an array of precisely rendered sub-millimetre-scale mirrors gives the impression that the maple leaf is pulsating—like a heart swelling with national pride.

Our first ever "pulsating" pure silver 5-coin set. Order today.

Features:

A CANADIAN EMBLEM CELEBRATES ITS 25TH ANNIVERSARY. An annual favourite, this pure silver fractional set highlights the 25th anniversary of the proclamation designating the maple tree (Acer spp.) as the national arboreal emblem of Canada.
FIRST "PULSATING" SET: This is the first set to feature the Royal Canadian Mint's engineered surface mirror technology, which creates the impression of an engraved "pulsating" effect on the reverse.
A BIG IMPRESSION: Photonics-based technology made its numismatic debut on our 2020 Pulsating Maple Leaf coin, which sold out quickly. Don't miss this opportunity to experience a Canadian innovation that brings motion to engraved design!
FIVE TIMES THE TECHNOLOGY: Unlike some of our previous fractional sets, the technology-enhanced design isn't just on the 1 oz. coin — it's on all five coins (1 oz., 1/2 oz., 1/4 oz., 1/10 oz., 1/20 oz.) in this set.
INCLUDES SERIALIZED CERTIFICATE: The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coin sets.
99.99% PURE SILVER COINS! Your coin set has no GST/HST!
LIMITED MINTAGE: Only 3,000 coin sets will be made available worldwide.

Design:

Each reverse features the Silver Maple Leaf bullion coin design, rendered using engineered surface mirror ("pulsating") technology developed in collaboration with the Centre for Research in Photonics at the University of Ottawa. All five coins are doubled dated ("1996 2021") in honour of the 25th anniversary of the proclamation designating the maple tree (Acer spp.) as the national arboreal emblem of Canada. The reverse and obverse field pattern reproduces an expanded, non-pulsating version of the pulsating pattern on the maple leaf. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.

Packaging:

Your coins are individually encapsulated and presented in a single Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.
