About
Multifaceted maple leaves bask in the sun’s golden glow.
During the golden hour—that brief window of time coveted by photographers and artists—the leaves of a silver maple tree appear all the more captivating and complex as they glimmer in the light cast by the low-lying sun. This 99.99% pure gold coin perfectly captures the mood on its reverse, where three maple leaves have been rendered with multifaceted engraving. Within each serrated shape, precisely sculpted lines rise and fall like angled mirrors, reflecting and scattering light in different directions to produce a gleaming work of art—one that reflects the beauty of Canada’s most treasured symbol.
