Comments

No leaf strikes a chord with our national fiber quite like the maple leaf. This very limited edition platinum piece, which will delight nature lovers, features the leaves of the Douglas maple, one of the 10 species that grow in Canada. Its leaves are more finely serrated than those of the sugar maple, a characteristic rendered with extraordinary meticulousness on this high-end object, and superbly enhanced by rose gold plating and the application of vivid colors.

Selective rose gold plating and vivid colors carefully applied in certain areas create the striking effect of this pattern with its rare reverse-proof finish: the shiny elements stand out against the frosted background.

Packaging
The coin is encapsulated and presented in a lacquered red wooden box adorned with the Royal Canadian Mint logo. The box comes with a black protective box.

Aucune feuille ne fait vibrer notre fibre nationale autant que celle de l'érable. Sur cette pièce en platine au tirage très limité, qui ravira les passionnés de nature, sont reproduites les feuilles de l'érable de Douglas, l'une des 10 essences qui poussent au Canada. Ses feuilles sont plus finement dentelées que celles de l'érable à sucre, une caractéristique rendue avec une extraordinaire minutie sur cet objet haut de gamme, et superbement mise en valeur par un placage d'or rose et l'application de couleurs vives.

Un placage sélectif d'or rose ainsi que des couleurs vives appliquées avec soin à certains endroits créent l'effet saisissant de ce motif au rare fini épreuve inverse : les éléments brillants se détachent de l'arrière-plan givré.

Emballage
La pièce est encapsulée et présentée dans un coffret de bois rouge laqué orné du logo de la Monnaie royale canadienne. Le coffret est assorti d'une boîte protectrice noire.
