Description
As a symbol of Canada, the maple leaf evokes freedom for people around the world. It’s an ideal that has lured untold multitudes across great open waters to a New World; its vast, unknown and untamed nature diminished by the people’s resolution to start anew, to turn a new leaf.

It requires that each coin be struck multiple times using enhanced tooling developed specifically for the demanding pressures and then meticulously crafted and the die finally is polished by hand for a stunning result.
Struck in 5 ounces of 99.99% pure silver—a keepsake with substance!
Features a fresh and airy new perspective of the maple leaf—a wonderful souvenir of Canada and a highly collectible expression of national pride.
Design features the exceptional sculptural qualities of high relief, an age-old technique normally reserved for large medals and medallions. The maple leaves on this coin literally rise from the coin’s surface, like sculptures.
