✔ The Maple Leaf - a Canadian investment coin
The Maple Leaf is an investment coin that was introduced in 1979 and is now one of the best-selling and best-known coins in the world. Maple Leaf coins usually have a fineness of 99.99%, just like this silver coin.
As the Maple Leaf is a Canadian coin, the front is always embossed with a symbol of Canada, namely the maple leaf. The back shows, as befits a Canadian coin, the portrait of the British Queen Elizabeth II.
✔ The security features of the Maple Leaf
The Maple Leaf is considered one of the safest investment coins ever, because it has a number of security features. Firstly, on the front of the coin, directly below the maple leaf motif, you will find another, much smaller maple leaf. This is a privy mark. This is considered proof of originality and protects the coin from counterfeiting.
To protect against counterfeiting, the coin has also been given countless fine lines.
