Because of this, the maple leaf has become one of the country's most iconic and most recognizable symbols in the country. Used as early as the 1700s, it has become the epitome of the unity and peace of Canadians. But it was only in 1979, when the single maple leaf found its way into Canadian currency. Commemorate the 10th anniversary of the introduction with this 1989 Canada Proof 1oz. Silver Maple Leaf Coin. It comes with the Canadian Mint presentation box and a certificate of authenticity.
