Among the many fascinating leaves found in Canada’s eastern forests, the sugar maple truly stands out. Its distinctive outline, deeply veined lobes, and irregularly toothed edges give it a familiar-yet-intriguing look that sets it apart from the rest, and these iconic features are especially prominent on this coin from the Royal Canadian Mint. Enhanced with selective gold plating, this 1-oz. 99.99% pure silver coin features a black rhodium plated field that puts all the focus on the elegant maple leaf, creating a striking contrast that transforms the beloved Canadian emblem into a shining symbol of resilience and natural grace.
