2009 London Tower Bridge Privy Mark Silver Maple Leaf

Another privy mark silver maple leaf for the collection! This one is the 2009 London Tower Bridge Privy SML, and was minted to commemorate the 115th anniversary of this famous landmark. This was both a low mintage and a Europe-only release, which makes it a nice coin to have in my collection. Construction on this bridge started in 1886 and finished in 1894, and it is still used by over 40000 people ever day! This is the first of the four 2009 silver maple leafs to enter my collection (along with the standard 2009, Ox and Brandenburg Gate) but certainly will not be my last (I actually have another, but will wait until tomorrow to write it up :)).
