Canada’s beauty shines through these multifaceted maple leaves!

Within the familiar leaf silhouette, the carefully sculpted and precisely angled lines rise and fall, reflecting and scattering light in different directions to produce a gleaming work of art—one that reflects the beauty of Canada’s most treasured symbol.

MULTIFACETED ENGRAVING

Multifaceted engraving involves the creation of mirror-like facets that reflect light in different directions and give shape to key design elements—in this case, three Canadian maple leaves.

DID YOU KNOW?

The silver maple is one of the 10 maple species (genus Acer) that were proclaimed Canada’s national arboreal emblem in 1996. While its common name refers to the bright undersides of its leaves, the scientific name Acer saccharinum is a nod to the silver maple’s sweet sap—though it’s not as sweet as the sap of a sugar maple (Acer saccharum), the preferred species for maple syrup production.

The reverse design by Canadian artist Michelle Grant features an arrangement of three silver maple (Acer saccharinum) leaves brought to life by multifaceted engraving, with precisely angled lines rising and falling within each leaf shape, like mirrors working to reflect brilliant light in different directions. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
