Comments

No symbol touches the patriotic heart of Canadians more than the iconic maple leaf. It has become synonymous with a vast land, with an abundance of spectacular scenery and beautiful places, as diverse as its 35 million people. With this finely crafted coin, the Royal Canadian Mint pays tribute to a national icon, as well as to the rich diversity of everything it represents.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Aucun symbole ne touche autant la fibre patriotique des Canadiens que l'emblématique feuille d'érable. Elle est devenue synonyme d'un territoire immense, qui offre une abondance de paysages spectaculaires et de lieux superbes, aussi divers que ses quelque 35 millions d'habitants. Avec cette pièce finement ciselée, la Monnaie royale canadienne rend hommage à un emblème national, ainsi qu'à la riche diversité de tout ce qu'il représente.
