Fine Silver Coin - Maple of Happiness (2011)
94% OF MINTAGE SOLD!
Features shimmering hologram of Canada’s treasured maple leaf.
The shine of fine silver provides the perfect canvas to showcase the
beautiful colours that shimmer from this coin’s hologram. The coin’s
design is a touching tribute to China’s vibrant customs that enrich the
culture of cities and towns across Canada.
Coin design:
China’s “Bird of Happiness,” a magpie, flying above a tapestry of lotus
flowers with a selective hologram of a maple leaf at its centre.
Packaging:
Coin is encapsulated and presented in a maroon clamshell case lined with flock and protected by a black sleeve.
Happiness soars with ancient Chinese symbols.
The magpie on this coin is one of China’s most
common and powerful symbols of happiness. Its
name (xi que) translates directly to “the bird of
happiness”. In fact, the decorations at Chinese
weddings will often feature two magpies to wish
“double happiness” for the bride and groom.
The lotus flower that creates the background on
this coin is another visual and auditory symbol for
happiness. Its name (lian) sounds identical to the
word “continuous”. Combining the magpie with
lotus flowers is a poignant way to express a wish
for prolonged happiness, luck and success.

A fine investment as silver is highly undervalued in the current market. The design is attractive and detailed and the quality is top-notch. Also makes an excellent collector's item.

This was going to be a gift, but I've decided to keep it. The engraving is quite beautiful. The detail is even better than the Maple of Wisdom. The hologram does need to be tipped properly to a bright light in order to shine brilliantly, but that is simply a bonus on a beautiful coin.

Happy, But Not Ecstatic

The real winning achievement in this coin is not the Maple leaf hologram(as the technology for holograms is limited at best), but the wonderful silver work on the magpie and lotus flowers and the frosting of the coin in general. The image reminds me of porcelin plates and decorated Oriental hand-fans. I am happy to add this coin to my collection, but wish there was a way to make the hologram even more unique. Perhaps a Red Crystal Maple Leaf next time?

Very nice Maple

Very nice design, has to be held just right to pick up the light, but once it hits the centre maple leaf, it shimmers beautifully. As my usual belief in Royal Canadian Mint Products... We are always paying more than the silver content, why can't the face value be closer to what we pay for it? I really liked the $20 coins for $20 earlier this year!
