ANA California State Flower : The poppy
Since its introduction in 1988, the Silver Maple Leaf has become one of the most well known bullion investment coins in the world. Investors and collectors alike have prized it for its quality, purity and value, along with the intricacy of its design. With this reverseproof silver numismatic coin, the Royal Canadian Mint celebrates its success while also paying tribute to the American Numismatic Association, host of the 2016 World’s Fair of Money.
Unchanged from each bullion coin issued annually, the iconic maple leaf — that mighty national symbol of Canada, its people and its pride — is featured on the reverse of this fine silver numismatic coin. Intricately engraved in fine detail, the single leaf’s serrated edges and deeply veined lobes are rendered in a way that adds texture to the leaf, which shimmers in a brilliant finish set against the frosted background. The official flower of the state of California, the poppy,is micro engraved on a small area of the reverse Remarkably detailed on such a small scale, this unique privy mark stands as a celebration of the Mint’s attendance at the 2016 ANA World’s Fair of Money in Anaheim, Cal. , as further indicated by the engravedacronym “ANA” and the word “ANAHEIM”.
