Both coins in your set share the same reverse image by Nathalie Lagacé, featuring a wealth of finely engraved details that give the maple leaves a life-like appearance. Like a botanical illustration, three different sizes of maple leaves are naturally positioned along the branches that nearly stretchfrom the bottom rim to the top, where two double-winged fruits (samaras) extend outwards on slender stalks. While the two smallest leaves have curled outer edges, the largest, most prominent maple leaf offers an unobstructed view of its defining features:the overall shape, its toothed margins, and the deep-set veins that run through each lobe towards the pointed tip. On one of the two coins, this large leaf is further enhanced by a selective application ofplatinum plating that provides contrast next to the gold. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.

• The Royal Canadian Mint is the only mint in the world to offer a gold purity of .99999 (a.k.a. 99.999% pure gold, or ‘Five 9s’)! It’s the highest recognized purity level inthe world — in fact, 100% pure gold would be too soft or pliable for an engraved coin.
• A fixture on all Canadian circulation coins issued between 1876 and 1901, the maple leaf continuedto grace the reverse of the one-cent coin until 2012.
• Known as a samara, each half of the maple’s double-winged fruit (seen on the reverse) often litters the ground in late summer and early fall, whenone might playfully toss it and watch it spin back down to the ground. This motion is key to dispersingthe seed: it allows the samara to remain airborne so that it may be sown farther away, where the resulting seedling and the parent tree will not crowd eachother.

Your coin set comes packaged in beautiful wood collector's case with black beauty box.
