Comment
Beautifully reproduced twice rather than once on this 99.95% pure platinum coin, the sugar maple leaf is a deeply evocative symbol for Canadians. This is the first coin of its kind with selective gold plating on the reverse, obverse and bead. Evoking autumnal light, this touch of gold creates a spectacular effect with the reverse proof finish, which highlights the fine engraving of the leaves embodying history, identity and pride.Did you know?
The first documented use of the maple leaf as a Canadian cultural symbol dates back to 1836, when the newly-founded Société Saint-Jean-Baptiste made it its emblem.
All Canadian circulation coins issued between 1876 and 1901 featured a maple leaf. The maple leaf was featured on the reverse of our one-cent coin until it was withdrawn from circulation in 2014.
In 1860, a maple leaf was added to the badge of the 100th Regiment of Foot (Prince of Wales' Royal Canadian). It appeared on the badge of the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War, and on the badges and equipment of many Canadian servicemen during the Second World War.
Maple leaves appear in many provincial coats of arms and flags, but none is as famous as the one that sits at the center of the Canadian flag! After years of deliberation and heated debate, during which thousands of designs were proposed, the red and white Maple Leaf flag was adopted on February 15, 1965. Since then, this date has marked National Flag of Canada Day.
Packaging
The coin is encapsulated and presented in a lacquered red wooden box featuring the Royal Canadian Mint logo. The case is accompanied by a black protective box.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the "Maple Leaf Forever" platinum coin is that it features a unique reverse design that showcases a stylized maple leaf, which is a symbol of Canada, surrounded by a pattern of interlocking maple leaves. This design is meant to represent the country's strong cultural heritage and its reputation as a leader in the global community. Additionally, the coin's platinum composition and limited mintage make it a highly sought-after collectible item among numismatists and coin enthusiasts.
