2013 Canadian Maple Leaf Impression Silver Coins Near Sellouts

Two Maple Leave Impression silver coins from the Royal Canadian Mint are proving popular with coin collectors as both are nearer to selling out.

Limited to a mintage of 10,000 each, the 99.99% pure silver coins feature identical designs showcased around a central large maple leaf that is surrounded by over 100 maples leaves.

Created by Royal Canadian Mint engraver José Osio, the $20 silver coin features a sunken central impression of a maple leaf filled in translucent red enamel. At $114.95, the Mint indicates 79% of them have sold. The Mint notes on the coin’s product page that the red maple leaf has been a symbol of Canadian identity for nearly 300 years.

The $3 silver coin features a subtle maple leaf "impression" that creates a 3D illusion. Less expensive at $59.95, sales are at 90% of maximum. As a highlight, the Mint promotes that the coin could easily be transformed into a pendant.

Obverses for both silver coins offer Susanna Blunt’s effigy of Queen Elizabeth II with inscriptions of "CANADA," the date "2013" and the face value of "3 DOLLARS" or "20 DOLLARS."
