2003 Good Fortune 1oz Silver $5 Dollar Maple Leaf Coin

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 sentiments.  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 immigrants.  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.

The reverse of the coin depicts a hologram maple leaf and a privy mark comprising the year 2003 with the words “good fortune maple” in Chinese.  The coin comes encapsulated and presented in a red clam case and it is accompanied by a booklet of authenticity.
