About the Design:
Designed by Canadian artist Lilyane Coulombe, your coin features a natural scene with timeless appeal: here, a singlemaple leaf has fluttered down from a branch above onto the still waters below it. Canada's beloved symbol is showcased in stunning detail thanks to finely detailed engraving that recreates the veins which run along its lobes. Gently piercing the water's mirror-like surface, the tip of the leaf's lobe has set off a wave of soft ripples; and yet the leaf's micro-engraved reflection remains, bouncing with the water's movement in a serene moment that would be all too brief–had it not been forever suspended in time with this coin.
