Why add this 2008 Canadian 1 oz. Silver Maple Leaf coin honoring the Vancouver 2010 Olympics to your collection?This specially designed release of the Royal Canadian Mint (RCM) Silver Maple Leaf series was issued in 2008 to commemorate the upcoming XXI Olympic Winter Games to be held in the Canadian city of Vancouver in 2010. The coin's design features a classic maple leaf paired with the 2010 Winter Olympics Inuksuk emblem. Inuksuk are large stone landmarks which were built by local aboriginal people and the tribes of the Canadian Inuit.
Traditional Maple Leaf Imagery With Olympic SymbolismObverse: The obverse is adorned with the image of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II designed by award-winning Canadian portrait artist Susanna Blunt in 2003. The right facing effigy of the monarch is surrounded by the inscriptions "ELIZABETH II," "5 DOLLARS" and "2008." Reverse: A sugar maple leaf appears on the reverse, accompanied by the inscriptions "CANADA," "FINE SILVER 1 OZ. ARGENT PUR" and "9999." The classically styled maple leaf graphic was created by the late Walter Ott (1920-2020), the Chief Engraver and Director of Art of the RCM from 1977 until 1985. The leaf is partially overlapped by an almond-shaped inset which is ornamented with the Inuksuk emblem of the 2010 Winter Olympics, the Olympic Rings logo and the inscription "VANCOUVER 2010."
