The 2010 Vancouver Olympic Winter Games - Gold Maple
Leaf Bullion Coins have released from the Royal Canadian Mint! These gorgeous Olympic Gold Maple Leaf coins
are the world’s first bullion coins promoting the spirit of the Olympic Games. Second Year of Issue in a Three-Year Series The 2010 issue of the Olympic Maple Leaf Gold coins is the last of a three-year series that started in 2008 and will continue until 2010, the year that the Winter Olympic Games will be held in Vancouver. The beautiful, three-year-only Olympic Winter Games Gold Maple Leaf coins are available in extremely limited quantities of 50,000 coins minted per year. Composition Each one-ounce Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games Gold Maple Leaf coin contains 99.99% pure Gold and is an official “bullion” coin. Each coin bears a $50 face value. Design The original image of the Gold Maple Leaf appears on each coin, as well as a brand new, traditional image overlaid on the traditional Maple Leaf. This new image, a modern interpretation of the “inukshuk,” is a stone sculpture used by Canada’s Inuit people as a directional landmark across the northern Canadian lands of snow and ice. This statue symbolizes hope, friendship, and the hospitality of a nation that warmly welcomes the people of the world with open arms. Mint Facility The coins are minted at the Royal Canadian Mint in Canada. |
