* Canada’s First Holographic $8 Coin - Beautiful design *
The Maple of Long Life, a 2007 silver proof 8 dollar coin from Canada.
The Royal Canadian Mint introduces this 2007 silver proof coin that pays tribute to the long and harmonious life many immigrants hope for when they come to Canada.
Reverse: Along the rim on top, “CANADA”. In the center, a spherical hologram of the leaves of a maple tree. On the right, a Chinese longevity symbol and a tortoise. Along the rim at the bottom, the face value.
Obverse: In the center, the portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Along the rim, the inscriptions "ELIZABETH II" on the left, the year of issue on top, and "D•G•REGINA" on the right. At the bottom, the Royal Canadian Mint mark.
Longevity - a blessing – and wealth beyond compare. It is the greatest wish one can hope for. In Canada, where multitudes live in harmony, the promise of longevity rings true in the welcoming shade of the maple tree. Just as the maple leaf inspired Europeans centuries ago, it remains a beacon for Canada's newest generation of immigrants. For them, Canada represents endless possibilities: a place where blessings of longevity can be held in their hand—and experienced across the land.
