Description

In 2023, the Royal Canadian Mint has released a limited edition ultra-high relief Gold Maple Leaf coin worth $200. This coin is a remarkable example of the Royal Canadian Mint’s innovative spirit, with its new engraving and minting technologies. This extraordinary coin showcases a fully dimensional rendering of the iconic maple leaf with an unprecedented relief height of 1.8 mm, which makes it an elevated take on a beloved classic. The relief was meticulously sculpted by retired Senior Engraver Susan Taylor, who had worked under the tutelage of the late Walter Ott, the creator of the world-renowned leaf design.

To achieve this ultra-high relief, the coin has a pure gold weight of 33.17 grams, which is slightly higher than that of a regular one-ounce gold maple leaf coin. The addition of selective plating in fine platinum on the maple leaf and outer ring creates an exquisite contrast and adds to the coin’s artistic beauty. The reverse side of the coin includes the engraved words “CANADA” and “FINE GOLD 1 OZ OR PUR”, as well as the purity standard of “9999”.

On the obverse, the coin features a selectively platinum plated posthumous effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II created by Susanna Blunt, one of Canada’s renowned artists. The double dates of 1952-2022 have been inscribed on the coin, representing the years of her reign.

The mintage of this exceptional coin is limited to just 550 pieces, making it a highly sought-after collectible for numismatists and investors alike. Furthermore, the coin is HST/GST exempt, which makes it an attractive option for collectors who want to avoid taxes. The Royal Canadian Mint has yet again demonstrated its commitment to excellence with this exquisite piece, which is sure to be treasured for years to come.
