About

Treasure a new classic with Triple Maple, struck in a proof finish.

The maple leaf has a timeless quality that lends itself beautifully to artistic representations, especially those that capture the leaf’s symmetrical form and intricate veins in all their natural beauty. That beauty is evident in the many maple portraits brought to life by Senior Engraver Stan Witten throughout his 35-year career, and it certainly shines through in this new, original design that has all the earmarks of a classic.  

Based on a photograph taken in his backyard, Stan’s Triple Maple design reflects his passion for nature, his appreciation for maple leaves, and his dedication to his craft. It is a classic maple arrangement rendered in a classic style, featuring Stan’s characteristic focus on form and depth of detail. The result is a stunning, everlasting portrait that will renew your appreciation for a natural icon that continues to captivate and inspire us.

Classic maple leaves. Classic engraving. Classic Canada.

DID YOU KNOW?

Acer saccharum, the sugar maple, is arguably the most famous maple tree in Canada — it’s the preferred species for maple syrup production, and it’s abundantly found in our eastern forests.

Designed and sculpted by Senior Engraver Stan Witten, the coin’s reverse features a pleasing arrangement of three sugar maple (Acer saccharum) leaves. Gently overlapping, the leaves are tilted towards the right to convey movement, as though the leaves are falling or have just landed on the ground, while still allowing a clear view of their intricate vein pattern. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.

Maples are beautiful year-round, even in winter, and I fell in love with them when I moved to Ottawa – I even planted a few in our backyard, and those trees provided the inspiration for this design. In the fall of 2023, as the leaves were coming down, I gathered some and placed them on the ground to form the arrangement seen here. After photographing it, I drew a sketch and then sculpted it, taking care to give each leaf a 3D composition by including undulations that form subtle valleys, and concave areas that create visual movement. That’s the key to creating visual interest in a shape that, upon first glance, seems so simple (although it’s not): depending on the art style, a subtle 3D form is more interesting than a series of carved lines. And a strong central image, with a lot of negative space to keep the focus on the main subject — in this case, the maple leaves — makes for a classic design with lasting appeal. These leaves are presented cleanly and without any attachments; they could be interpreted as being in free flight or laying on the ground, and as being symbolic of the passage of time. Having them lean to the right adds a clockwise circular flow that complements the coin shape, while still allowing a great view of the leaf that is so symbolic of Canada and our wild places, which have inspired me throughout my life and career.

I have had the wonderful privilege of working with Stan for well over 10 years. He has a love for sculpting coins that is contagious, and his passion and appreciation for maple leaves really shines through in this special collection of coins, which he so lovingly brought to life. Working with Stan on this project has been memorable for me, one that I consider to be an honour and a privilege. Thank you, Stan!

The shape and form of the sugar maple (Acer saccharum) leaf is a familiar element in Canada’s eastern forests. A common element of the landscape that surrounds us, it is, at the same time an icon, a symbol of Canada that is recognized world-wide.
