Celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Canada’s National Arboreal Emblem
A Masters Club EXCLUSIVE!
The yearlong 25th anniversary celebration of the maple tree, Canada’s national arboreal emblem, which was kicked off by the recent launch of the 2021 $50 Fine Silver Coin – Maple Leaf in Motion, continues with this 2021 Iconic Maple Leaves coin.
Every Iconic Maple Leaves coin is a fully gold-plated, scallop-shaped celebration of Canada’s beloved maple leaf, a symbol that represents our nation, our achievements and our Canadian pride.
The fourth coin in our annual series features one of the designs from the classic Maple Leaf Forever, a famous series inspired by the iconic maple leaf design that graced Canada’s one-cent circulation coin from 1937 to 2012. It is a Douglas Maple leaf overlapping a Sugar Maple leaf; proudly perched upon their delicately crossed stems, the leaves portray the characteristic elements of each species of Acer.
On April 25, 1996, the Deputy Registrar of Canada proclaimed the Acer genus the country’s official arboreal emblem, citing the maple leaf’s historical role as a symbol of national identity, the important part the genus has played in the country’s historical and commercial development, Acer’s aesthetic importance to Canadians, and its role as an important, environmentally sustainable economic resource.
