Multifaceted maple leaves: A modern take on classic Canadiana.
The leaf of the silver maple (Acer saccharinum) is dramatic and multifaceted: its slender, coarsely toothed lobes and deep notches give it a sharp outline, but get up close and you'll realize that it's also bright green on one side, and silvery-white on the other.
These characters make it easy to identify a silver maple tree, and they are artfully explored on this 10 oz. 99.99% pure silver coin, which uses multifaceted engraving to create a striking effect. Radiating outward from the petiole, the angled lines form peaks and valleys that reflect light in an extraordinary way within each leaf—especially the top one, which is highlighted with rose gold plating that gives it a beautiful blushing hue.
A blushing gleam, a modern aesthetic—a captivating maple celebration.
Special features
- Multifaceted engraving. An innovative approach to minting dimensional art, multifaceted engraving involves the creation of multiple facets that reflect the light in different directions and give shape to key design elements—in this case, three Canadian maple leaves.
- 10 oz. of fine silver. Impeccably crafted in 10 oz. of 99.99% pure silver.
- A limited collectible. Only 1,200 coins are available to collectors worldwide.
- Includes serialized certificate. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
- No GST/HST.
Packaging
Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.
Rose gold plating
On your coin’s reverse, the most prominent maple leaf is plated with rose gold for a luxurious colour contrast, which further enhances the gleam of the mirror-like facets.
A mix of frostings
Each of the three maple leaves are set apart by different frostings that not only highlight the individual shapes, they also create depth through the varied levels of brilliance coupled with the coin’s proof finish.

The reverse design by Canadian artist Michelle Grant features an overlapping arrangement of three silver maple (Acer saccharinum) leaves brought to life by multifaceted engraving, with precisely angled lines rising and falling within each leaf shape, like multiple mirrors working to reflect brilliant light in different directions. The top leaf is further enhanced with rose gold plating, which also adds colour to the rim on both sides of the coin. The obverse features a repeating maple pattern behind the rose-gold plated effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
