Celebrate the milestone anniversaries of two official symbols of Canada with this 10 oz. pure silver coin featuring Canada’s arboreal emblem. The coin’s reverse highlights the 100^th anniversary of the national colours of Canada (1921-2021), while the maple design and obverse highlight the 25^th anniversary of Canada’s arboreal emblem, the maple (Acer) tree.

The coin’s engraved design features a clockwise swirl of Canadian maple leaves, each one different from the other and held together by a ribbon that ends in a bow. To top it off, the coin has selective touches of red and white – Canada’s official colours since 1921 – to transform this Arboreal Anniversary piece into a dual celebration of national symbols.

Designed by Canadian artist Michelle Grant, the coin’s reverse features a leaf arrangement representing the 10 Canadian maple (Acer) species (clockwise): mountain (A. spicatum), red (A. rubrum), striped (A. pensylvanicum), Manitoba (A. negundo), Douglas (A. glabrum), sugar (A. saccharum), big leaf (A. macrophyllum), silver (A. saccharinum), black (A. nigrum) and vine (A. circinatum). Red enamel highlights the sugar maple leaf at the centre; selective frosting adds a touch of white to the ribbon, bow and banner, which bears the dates “1921-2021” to commemorate the 100^th anniversary of Canada’s national colours (red and white). The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt and a special privy mark in honour of the 25^th anniversary (1996-2021) of Canada’s national arboreal emblem, the maple (Acer).

Only 800 of these coins will be available worldwide.
