A perfect 10! Every Canadian maple is represented on this 10 oz. coin. Order today!

Canada’s arboreal emblem consists of not one but 10 different maple (Acer) species, and that diversity is perfectly illustrated on this 10 oz. pure silver coin. Its engraved design features a clockwise swirl of Canadian maple leaves, each one different from the other and held together by a ribbon that ends in a bow. To top it off, we’ve added selective touches of red and white – Canada’s official colours since 1921 – to transform this Arboreal Anniversary piece into a dual celebration of national symbols.

DESIGN

Designed by Canadian artist Michelle Grant, the coin’s reverse features a leaf arrangement representing the 10 Canadian maple (Acer) species (clockwise): mountain (A. spicatum), red
(A. rubrum), striped (A. pensylvanicum), Manitoba (A. negundo), Douglas (A. glabrum), sugar
(A. saccharum), big leaf (A. macrophyllum), silver (A. saccharinum), black (A. nigrum) and vine
(A. circinatum). Red enamel highlights the sugar maple leaf at the centre; selective frosting adds a touch of white to the ribbon, bow and banner, which bears the dates “1921-2021” to commemorate the 100^th anniversary of Canada’s national colours (red and white). The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt and a special privy mark in honour of the 25^th anniversary (1996-2021) of Canada’s national arboreal emblem, the maple (Acer).
