Two maple leaves
The maple leaf has long been an internationally recognized emblem of Canada, its people and the land itself. But there are multiple species of maples, making it as diverse as the population it is often used to represent. This striking silver coin pays tribute to one of several maple species that are native to Canada: the sugar maple (Acer saccharum).

Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Canadian Elizabeth II (Twin Maples, 2 oz Bullion) silver coin is that it features a unique double maple leaf design, which is not found on any other coin. This design was created by Royal Canadian Mint engraver, Alex Tirabasso, and it showcases two maple leaves that are intertwined to form a stylized design. This design element not only adds visual appeal to the coin but also symbolizes the strong connection between Canada and its natural resources.
