"Blessings of good fortune from the land of the maple leaf.

For thousands of Chinese people who have made Canada their home, this coin eloquently conveys their unspoken sentiment.

Written with familiar Chinese characters, 'the good fortune maple' speaks volumes of the hopes and dreams that bring them here - the depth of their desire for a better life."

Just as the maple leaf inspired Europeans centuries ago, it remains a beacon for Canada's newest generation of imigrants. For them, Canada is a colourful spectrum of endless possibilities: blessings of good fortune that can be held in their hand - and experienced across the land.

Struck from one ounce of %99.999 pure silver. Limited to 30,000, sold out at the Mint.

Diameter 38 mm, with a privy mark of 2003 and the Chinese characters reading "Good Fortune Maple."

The obverse is a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Dora de Pédry-Hunt. Packaged in a red velvet presentation case.
