Comment

Set of three coins, selective gold plating

The first bullion coins dedicated to the Olympics.
As Canada began preparations for the Vancouver Games, the Royal Canadian Mint's famous silver Maple Leaf coins seemed the perfect way to convey the strong symbolism of this precious metal. A historic agreement with the International Olympic Committee produced a first in the world of numismatic investment: three coins illustrating Canada's sport par excellence, the richness of its Aboriginal cultures and the pride of Vancouver 2010.

Ensemble de trois pièces, placage sélectif d'or

Voici les premières pièces d’investissement consacrées à l’olympisme.
Tandis que le Canada entamait les préparatifs des Jeux de Vancouver, les célèbres pièces Feuille d’érable en argent de la Monnaie royale canadienne sont apparues tout indiquées pour véhiculer le fort symbolisme de ce métal précieux. Un accord historique avec le Comité international olympique a produit une première dans le monde de l’investissement numismatique : trois pièces illustrant le sport par excellence du Canada, la richesse de ses cultures autochtones et la fierté de Vancouver 2010.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2008 Canadian Silver Maple Leaf and Inukshuk coin is that it features a unique combination of two iconic Canadian symbols: the maple leaf and the inukshuk. The maple leaf is a well-known symbol of Canada, while the inukshuk, a stone sculpture of a human figure, is a symbol of the Inuit people, who are indigenous to Canada's Arctic regions. The combination of these two symbols represents the diversity and rich cultural heritage of Canada.
