For the first time since it opened its doors 43 years ago, the Royal Canadian Mint's Winnipeg facility has struck pure gold and fine silver numismatic coins. These special collectibles are the product of a unique marriage of expertise between Winnipeg and Ottawa employees who joined forces to create "made in Manitoba" tributes to the Mint's world-renowned Maple Leaf bullion coins.

Featuring the iconic Walter Ott-designed Sugar Maple leaf on their reverses, and a burnished finish that gives them an uncommonly matte appearance, these 2020-dated coins are limited to mintages of 10,000 for the silver edition, and 400 for the gold.
