or most of Canada's history, a single image - the maple leaf - has symbolized this land and its people. Popularized in songs and stories, as well as on pins, flags, coats of arms, badges, banknotes and coins, the maple leaf is immortalized in all its splendor on this 99.95% pure platinum coin.
Did you know?
- Although the silver maple goes by many names - white maple, white plain, French plain - its real name is Acer saccharinum. Acer means "cutting", like the edges of a maple leaf, and identifies the tree with a species of maple, while saccharinum refers to the sweet sap of the silver maple. It is possible to make syrup from the sap of many maple species, even if their sap is not as sweet as that of the famous sugar maple.
- Do the leaves of all maple species turn red in autumn? No, they don't. In the case of the silver maple, the leaves turn pale yellow to rusty brown, but rarely red.
