SPECIAL FEATURES

• A SHOWCASE OF PURE ARTISTRY: A soaring celebration of a nation’s pride through the majestic
  beauty of a Canadian icon, the maple leaf, which is paired with a sparkling stunner: a round, brilliant-cut
  Canadian diamond.
• THE HIGHEST STANDARD OF CRAFTSMANSHIP: With a mirror-like proof finish, the incomparable gleam of
  99.99% pure gold easily catches the eye and provides an opulent canvas for the 0.10-carat diamond that
  represents Canada’s innovative spirit.
• A MARK OF PRESTIGE: Measuring 3.1 millimetres in diameter, each diamond is a certified Forevermark® diamond—a prestigious brand from The De Beers Group of Companies. It is among less than 1% of the world’s diamonds that have passed a rigid selection criteria that goes beyond the standard 4Cs grading system (cut, colour, clarity, carat) to identify the diamonds that are truly among the world’s finest.
• LASER-ETCHED GUARANTEE: Each Forevermark® diamond typically bears a laser-etched inscription inscribed 1/20th of a micron deep (the equivalent of 1/5,000th the depth of a human hair), and features the brand’s icon along with its own unique number. On the coin’s reverse, the Canadian diamond is deliberately positioned to ensure the laser mark is visible—a mark of prestige, the stamp of authenticity, and a promise that your precious gem is natural, untreated, and responsibly sourced.
• FLAWLESS BEAUTY: Like the coin itself, your diamond is a carefully sculpted and polished masterpiece! Each one is impeccably cut by Canadian Crossworks Manufacturing to ensure supreme symmetry and the perfect proportions in order to maximize the stone’s lustre and release a dazzling light!

• A PRESTIGIOUS COLLECTING OPPORTUNITY: With only 250 available worldwide, this coin is so
  much more than a limited collectible—it is a numismatic work of art that is to yours to treasure time and time again.

DESIGN
Both timeless and elegant, the reverse design by Virginia Boulay radiates light through its exquisite
pairing of an engraved design and a brilliant 0.10-ct Canadian diamond. The quintessential symbol
of Canadian pride and identity, a majestic maple leaf is painstakingly brought to life by intricate
engraving that re-creates its veined lobes in exceptional detail. The large leaf is positioned to the
right to create the illusion of an overhead perspective, as though the viewer is looking down towards
the base of this Canadian celebration. Circling upward in a motion that conveys lightness, the leaves
form a precious snowflake-like nest that cradles and hoists the embedded diamond higher and
higher. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
