DESIGN:
A powerful symbol of Canadian identity, the maple leaf is front-and-centre in this reverse design by Royal Canadian Mint engraver, José Osio. A finely engraved mix of different-sized maple leaves fills the field and conveys a sense of spirited celebration behind the large, red-coloured maple leaf that is at the heart of the design. The reverse is transformed in the dark, where photo-luminescent technology adds a backlit effect to the prominent maple leaf and a bright green glow to select leaves that surround it. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
