You’ve never seen Canada’s national symbol quite like this. The 2021 instalment of our Maple Leaves in Motion series is our first coin to feature dual plating (yellow and rose gold) on a large multi-faceted design, and the result is stunning. Viewed from every angle, the engraved facets gently rise and fall to give the maple leaf a more dimensional shape that plays with light. These engraved shapes are also plated with either yellow or rose gold to create a luminous colour contrast that truly stands out – just like Canada’s maple trees in the fall.
What better way to kick off a yearlong 25th anniversary celebration of Canada’s national arboreal emblem, the maple tree – order today!
Special features:
Design:
A single sugar maple (Acer saccharum) leaf is the focal point of this design by Canadian artist Matt Eggink. Against a laser-engraved relief pattern, the maple leaf’s multiple engraved facets are individually plated with either yellow or rose gold for high contrast and visual appeal. Ten more geometric shapes—one for each Canadian maple species—form a partial frame, while a special privy mark denotes the 25th anniversary (1996-2021) of the maple’s designation as the official national arboreal emblem of Canada. The selectively plated obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
A special arboreal anniversary:
It was 25 years ago (April 25, 1996) that the maple treewas officially recognized as Canada’s national arboreal emblem. The anniversary of this famously Canadian symbol is one of our big themes in 2021, and on multiple coins (including this one), it is represented by a special “25” maple leaf privy mark.
Packaging:
Your encapsulated coin is presented in a red lacquered, Royal Canadian Mint-branded collector’s case and packaged in a black beauty box.
