2005 1oz $5 SILVER MAPLE LEAF OF HOPE FINE SILVER COIN

Thousands of years ago, Canada’s aboriginal people cherished the maple for the wondrous delicacy that flowed from its roots each spring. Centuries later, the Europeans treasured the maple for its wood that enabled them to build their homes and find comfort in the warmth of its flame. Today, the challenges may have changed, but the maple’s symbolism remains the same. It is a beacon of hope for Canada’s newest generation of immigrants, one that inspires them to believe in their dreamsthat good fortune can be found in the shade of the maple tree. This beautiful 99.99% pure silver coin captures the maple’s autumn beauty with a laser technique and a Chinese privy mark with the words “Maple of Hope”. A breathtaking sight, it’s bound to stir pride from deep within and bring unprecedented enjoyment to your collection!
