In 2010, Canada had the pleasure of holding the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. As in previous Olympics, the Royal Canadian Mint chose to commemorate Canada’s time as the chosen host country by releasing a special edition coin; the 2010 Olympic Canadian Gold Maple Leaf. All Olympic maple leaf coins were made from 1 troy ounce of the finest 99.99% pure gold. They measure 38 mm in diameter and 2.87 mm in thickness. Each coin in this collection is in brilliant uncirculated condition and will arrive in either an individual plastic case or a sealed tube to maintain its newly minted state.

The front of the coin draws its inspiration from one of the most popular winter sports, hockey. It depicts a burly hockey player as he strategically maneuvers the puck with his stick. From the dynamic angles of his body to the detailed rendering of his helmet and uniform, sports enthusiasts are sure to appreciate the level of skill it took to realistically capture this player in action. To the left and right of the hockey player are two of Canada’s iconic maple leaves as a symbol of national pride. The Canadian spirit is further displayed in the above logo which incorporates the coin’s mintage year along with the hosting cities of Vancouver and Whistler. The reverse side of the coin acknowledges Canada’s former British ties with a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.

This 2010 Olympic Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin is an inspiring tribute to the Vancouver games that both collectors and sports fans will continue to enjoy for years to come. All orders placed with us are shipped completely free of charge with insurance against theft and damage included.
