From a tiny bud nourished by spring showers, to its colourful swan song in the fall, the sugar maple leaf is a thing of beauty through the seasons. Magnificently crafted in 99.99% pure gold, this premium collector piece presents a richly detailed portrait of a captivating symbol of a nation.
Designed by artist Maurade Baynton, the reverse presents a tranquil nature scene centered on a Canadian icon. The coin’s gold surface infuses the design with a warm glow, like autumn sunshine reflecting on water. Carefully sculpted rocks of all sizes fill the field, further adding to the effect of staring into a pebble-lined pond. At the centre, a large-sized sugar maple (Acer saccharum) leaf has been deposited onto the surface of the water, where the leaf’s slightly curled edges give it a life-like appearance while ensuring an unobstructed view of the deeply etched veins within. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
Hand-polished to a proof-perfect finish, a beloved Canadian symbol is positively luminous as it basks in the luxurious gleam of 99.99% pure gold.
