Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2016 Canadian $50 Murano Maple Leaf Silver Coin is that it features a unique glass-enamel insert that showcases a maple leaf design, which was created using a special technique that involves layering thin layers of glass and enamel on a metal base. This process, known as "Murano glass," is a centuries-old art form that originated in Murano, Italy, and is renowned for its beauty and durability. The use of this technique on the coin adds an extra layer of depth and dimension to the maple leaf design, making it stand out from other coins.
