The maple leaf is a powerful Canadian national symbol. Its popularity is largely because it is such a big part of everyday life in Canada. First Nations people have long treasured the maple, as they were the first to savour its delicious springtime sap. The maple shaped the lives of Canada's first settlers in countless ways and ultimately became synonymous with the ideals that lured them here: hope, opportunity and freedom, all of which that make the maple leaf a timeless keepsake to inspire generations. Even now, the maple leaf continues to represent the freedom and opportunities people can find in Canada. It's a symbol that's jam-packed with promises to inspire generations to come!
This coin features a beautiful design of two maple leaves selectively enamelled in red and green to reflect the ever-changing beauty of Canada's national symbol through the seasons with rays of sunshine in the background accented with matte and brilliant finishes. This is the third one-kilo coin to be enhanced with coloured enamel!
