This is the first coin in the Royal Canadian Mint's 20 for 20 series. In this series, you were able to buy the coin from the mint for $20 (no taxes or fees, except if you got it shipped to you) and the coin has a $20 face value. For this coin, 200,000 were minted and they sold out in a matter of days. Each coin is 1/4 oz of pure (99.99%) silver.
This coin has five maple leaves on it of varying sizes and proudly displays the $20 face value and the silver purity (9999). As soon as I heard this coin was going to go on sale, I immediately made plans to buy one. I was able to purchase it on the day of release directly from the mint and am happy I did, since it sold out a few days latter (and now goes for $40 from coin stores).
