Comment
Simple and elegant, the maple branch motif of our earliest circulation coins (1858-1936) is prized for what it evokes of Canada's youthful era. This iconic Canadian motif served as the inspiration for this modern, traditional-looking coin, which is fast becoming a classic among collectors.On this modern tribute, the Victorian branches are replaced by a crescent of maple leaves, all different, representing Canada's 10 native maple species. These leaves were the inspiration for the Dominion Sculptor's work on the provisional seat of the Senate: they add a touch of our natural heritage to the glass panels, wooden doors and wall panels.
Did you know?
As Dominion Sculptor, Philip White is responsible for the conservation and creation of the sculptures and works that decorate the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa, Ontario. The iconic Centre Block was deliberately left unfinished, even after the inauguration of the Peace Tower in 1927; thousands of untouched blocks of stone allow sculptors to carve Canadian history as it is written.
L. C. Wyon's crossed maple branches design first appeared on Province of Canada coins in 1858, just after the adoption of the decimal system. Although it predates Confederation by almost a decade, the design is also reproduced on the first coins minted under the Dominion of Canada, in 1870. Different variations of the design appeared on silver coins of each denomination (5, 10, 25 and 50 cents) until 1937, when they were replaced by new designs.
Packaging
The coin is encapsulated and presented in a burgundy double-shell case adorned with the Royal Canadian Mint logo. The case is accompanied by a black protective box.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Canadian Maples 2019 $100 silver coin is that it features a unique privy mark, a small maple leaf, which is laser-engraved onto the coin's reverse side. This privy mark adds an extra layer of security and authenticity to the coin, making it a sought-after collectible among numismatists.
