Designed by Canadian artist Margaret Best, your coin presents a timeless portrait of a true Canadianicon. The mirror-like gleam of the coin's surface mimics the sun's golden rays and evokes allthe warmth of a summer day. In the centre, two sugar maple (Acer saccharum) leavesgently overlap, their stems naturally pointing outward from the single branch. The larger leaf in the foreground allows for a more detailed rendering of its features, which have been precisely engraved to give the artistic design an enhanced sense of depth and realism. The reverse includes the engraved face value "500 DOLLARS", the purity level "9999 AU" and weight "5 OZ", the word "CANADA", and the year "2017". The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
