2020 Canada $20 Iconic Maple Leaves Fine Silver (No Tax)
A Royal Canadian Mint Masters Club exclusive, the third coin in the annual Iconic Maple Leaves series is a fully gold-plated, scallop-shaped tribute to L.C. Wyon's crossed maple boughs. These iconic maple leaves were first introduced by the Province of Canada and later adopted by the Dominion of Canada for its first coins, which have a special place in the hearts of many collectors.
This fully gold-plated, scallop-shaped $20 coin is 99.99% pure silver, with a diameter of 38 mm and a nominal metal weight of 26.51 grams. The reverse features Leonard C. Wyon's crossed maple bough design, as seen on some of Canada's early coinage (1858-1936). The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
When the Dominion of Canada issued its first coins in 1870, these maple leaves appeared on every denomination except the one cent, which featured a maple vine instead.
The crossed maple boughs continued to appear on Canadian circulation coins until 1936, though the five-cent coin changed to the "two maple leaves" design in 1922.
