This pure silver fractional set highlights the 25th anniversary of the proclamation designating the maple tree (Acer spp.) as the national arboreal emblem of Canada.

Each reverse features the Silver Maple Leaf bullion coin design, rendered using engineered surface mirror (“pulsating”) technology developed in collaboration with the Centre for Research in Photonics at the University of Ottawa. All five coins are doubled dated (“1996 2021”) in honour of the 25th anniversary of the proclamation designating the maple tree (Acer spp.) as the national arboreal emblem of Canada. Thanks to an array of precisely rendered sub-millimetre-scale mirrors, each maple leaf appears to expand and contract when you tilt the coin. It’s an optical effect that reflects the swell of pride Canadians feel when they think of everything the maple tree represents, including our nation’s identity, our achievements and our history of innovation. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.

Only 3,000 coin sets will be made available worldwide.
