Grow your Maple Leaves in Motion collection! A single maple leaf is the star of the 2021 coin, which is the first to feature selective dual plating (yellow and rose gold) on a large multi-faceted design. Within the maple leaf’s outline, the engraved shapes rise and fall to play with light, while the plating combination creates a spectacular colour contrast that catches the eye – just like Canada’s maple trees in the fall.
A single sugar maple 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 trees designation as the official arboreal emblem of Canada. The selectively plated obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
