Obverse

2018 Reverse Proof Canadian Incuse Maple Leaf Silver Coins bear the fourth-generation Royal Canadian Mint portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Created in 2003 by Susanna Blunt, it is the first depiction of a monarch on Canadian coins without a crown or tiara since the reign of King George VI, father to Queen Elizabeth II.

History

Canadian Maple Leaf Silver Coins debuted from the RCM in 1988, making the 2018 date the 30^th anniversary. These coins are unique in that the mint struck the designs in incuse. This means the designs are stamped into the surface of the coin with sunken fields, rather than engraved onto the surface of the coin to create 3D elements. The reverse proof visual lends deeply-mirrored, clear finishes to the design elements and frosted background fields.
