2008 Inukshuk Vancouver Olympics Silver Maple Leaf

This coin is a variation of the design of the silver maple leaf to commemorate the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. In total there are three coins in this series: the 2008, 2009 and 2010 versions. The 2008 version has the standard silver maple leaf we know and love rotated slightly with the Olympic rings, "Vancouver 2010" and an Inuit inukshuk displayed. This coin was a must have for me since I am a big fan of the Olympics to begin with, and am especially excited since it is in my country.
