Comments

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.Automatically translated
