2005 Silver Maple Leaf Of Hope

Here is the 2005 Silver Maple Leaf of Hope. It is 1 ounce of pure silver, like all Silver Maple Leaf coins, but this one signifies how the maple leaf is a symbol of hope (especially for immigrants to Canada). The coin is particularly aimed at Chinese-Canadians as there is Chinese lettering on the coin and the box/certificate also have Chinese on them.

I am not sure why the certificate talks about the maple leaf being a symbol of hope for all immigrants but then seems to gear the coin only toward Chinese immigrants (they never make that clear anywhere) but I always have fun using Google translate to find out what the Chinese lettering on coins/bullion means. The overall design of the coin is great and they use laser etching to create a holographic look for the maple leaf. Watch the video to get a better look at the design.
