Canada’s beloved maple is captured in all its springtime beauty on this exceptional 5-oz gold coin.
The reverse design by Royal Canadian Mint engraver Stanley Witten features the distinctive five-lobed shape of the sugar maple as two leaves, engraved in careful detail, emerge from a twig. At their base is a cluster of delicate sugar maple blossoms. The proof-finished field features the text “CANADA”, the metal weight “5 OZ”, the purity standard of “9999 AU”, the face value of “500 DOLLARS”, and the date “2018”. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
