Design:
Both timeless and elegant, your coin's design by Virginia Boulay radiates light through its exquisite pairing of an engraved design and a brilliant 0.10 ct Canadian diamond. The quintessential symbol of Canadian pride and identity, a majestic maple leaf is painstakingly brought to life by intricate engraving that re-creates its veined lobes in exceptional detail. The large leaf is positioned to the right to create the illusion of an overhead perspective, as though the viewer is looking down towards the base ofthis Canadian celebration. Circling upward in a motion that conveys lightness, the leaves form a precious snowflake-like nest that cradles and hoists theembedded diamond higher and higher. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.

• While Canada is a relative newcomer to the diamond industry, it has yielded some of the world's finest diamonds! According to industry statistics, Canada is the 5th largest diamond producer by volume, with one of the world's highest price-per-carat ratio.
• Located near Lac de Gras, N.W.T., the Ekati Diamond Mine holds the distinction of being Canada'sfirst surface and underground diamond mine. It officially opened in 1998 after years of research work by Canadian geologists, who discovered evidence of kimberlite pipes—an ancient volcanic rock that is an important source of today's diamonds. Other mines include the Victor and Renaud diamond mines, which are the first of their kind to open in Ontario and Quebec, respectively.
• Impeccably cut, the diamond on the coin's reverse is the work of Canadian Crossworks Manufacturing, one of the few in the world specializing in cutting, polishing and selling Canadian diamonds. The diamantaire has been involved with Canada's diamond industry from the start, and purchases diamonds from all Canadian sources.
