DESCRIPTION
Covering nearly 40% of Canada’s total land area, our vast forests are a mosaic of diverse tree species, each one contributing shapes and colours to the woodland landscapes that fall within their natural range. Canada’s forests are a vital part of our national identity, and this special relationship inspired the new ’heart of the forest’ pulsating field pattern featured on this 5 oz. 99.99% pure silver coin from the Royal Canadian Mint. The optical effect transports the viewer into the heart of a Canadian forest dominated by conifers, with the mist-shrouded trees falling in and out of view behind the Silver Maple Leaf (SML) rendered in ultra high relief.
