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.
