2015 Canada $10 Celebrating Canada Fine Silver (No Tax)

No other symbol strikes a deep, emotional chord for Canadians than the iconic maple leaf. It has become synonymous with a vast expanse of land, which is filled with stunning sights and places that are as diverse as the nearly 35 million people who call Canada "home." Now, the Royal Canadian Mint celebrates the iconic maple leaf - and the rich diversity of all that it represents - with this finely detailed coin.

In the reverse image, Toronto-based artist Kwame Delfish has deftly created a map-like representation of Canada through the use of symbolism. The maple leaf's outline mimics Canada's geographical shape, stretching out to cover the far reaches of Canada. As though travelling from one coast to another, the Canadian Rocky Mountains and a white-tailed deer in the leaf's left-most point represent the rugged wilderness of the western provinces. Behind the deer, wheat symbolises the grain-growing Canadian prairies. The fishing industry and the Eastern provinces are represented in the right leaf point by a fish, a boat and the famed Peggy's Point Lighthouse. A partial map of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut - home to many of Canada's native peoples - dominates the leaf's middle point, while the Tower of Victory and Peace at the base symbolises the government and the tie that binds all Canadians together.
