Few other trees are as deeply rooted in Canadas history as the sugar maple (Acer saccharum), whose leaf closely resembles the emblem on the Canadian flag. Gold maple leaf re-creates this iconic fall beauty, and provides the crowning touch on a richly detailed, engraved expression of a nations pride. The reverse coin design by Canadian artist Michelle Grant takes a multi-layered approach to celebrating one of Canadas most famous leaves. In addition, crafted from one gram of 18-karat gold, the maple leaf adornment adds a sense of elegance, dimension and realismespecially its natural golden hue, which is in keeping with the sugar maples fall colours. Its deeply etched veins are prominent while its pointed edges are slightly bent, evoking the shape of a fallen leaf coming to rest on an engraved bed of classically stylized maple leaves. Behind it, the use of frosted and proof finishes fill the field to re-create the bands of Canadas national flag, as a visual representation of soaring pride for this nations natural legacy. The reverse also features the engraved word CANADA and the face value 30 DOLLARS. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. An RCM First!
