Peer through to Canada’s past and future with our first-ever coin featuring multi cut-out shapes
within its design. Like windows on the storied evolution of this nation, this circle of thirteen
perforated maple leaves represents Canada’s provinces and territories, and how their diverse
geographies, resources and cultures came together over time through a growing sense of
nationhood.
At the centre is the current Arms of Canada with the motto Desiderantes meliorem patriam (They
desire a better country). A window of opportunity that is always open within this coin’s ring of
unique maple leaves.
Thirteen cut-out maple leaves form a circle around the current Arms of Canada and is selectively
coloured to showcase the beauty of this ancient art form to full effect. On the obverse, the effigy of
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II appears at the centre, encircled by an inscription with the
denomination, and framed by the circle of cut-out maple leaves.
Richly historic! A masterful blend of heraldic art and modern craftsmanship—the perfect
momento. An original portrait of Canada featuring unique cut-out technology and colour—a
unique Canadian memento and gift with universal appeal.
