Design:
Designed by Canadian artist Pierre Leduc, your coin captures the natural beauty of the sugar maple leaf in outstanding detail. The smaller-sized leaf in the foreground is resplendent in platinum as it gently overlaps a larger leaf, whose gold-plated gleam easily catches the eye. The rim is also gold-plated on both sides, where it elegantly frames the reverse proof finish. The obverse features the gold-plated effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
Did you know…
- The first recorded useof a maple leaf as a Canadian cultural symbol was in 1836, when the newly-created Société Saint-Jean-Baptiste adopted it as its emblem.
- All Canadian circulation coins issued between 1876 and 1901 featured a maple leaf, which continued to grace the reverse of our one-cent coin until it was removed from circulation in 2014.
- In 1860, a maple leaf was added to the badge of the 100th (Prince of Wales’s Royal Canadian) Regiment of Foot. It then appeared on the Canadian Expeditionary Force’s badge in the First World War, and on the badges and equipment of many Canadian troops during the Second World War.
- The maple leaf is incorporated into several coats of arms andprovincial flags, but the one at the centre of the flag of Canada is arguably the most recognized one of all! After years of discussion, heated debate, andthousands of design proposals, the red-and-white flag made its debut on February 15, 1965; since then, every February 15 is known as National Flag of Canada Day.
