2009 Thunderbird Vancouver Olympics Silver Maple Leaf

Here is the next one! This is the 2009 version of the silver maple leaf which commemorates the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada. It features a Native Canadian Thunderbird design, and the Thunderbird actually approximates the shape of a maple leaf! The artist, Rick Harry, is from Squamish, BC, which is fairly close to Vancouver. I think this is a very sharp looking coin, and I'm very impressed with the Vancouver Olympics Silver Maple Leaf collection!
