Product Overview
This expertly crafted and affordable half-dollar coin contains 1/25th of an ounce of pure gold and features a Canadian maple leaf. While this coin has a small size with a diameter of about 14 mm, the design detail is exceptional, creating a miniature work of art in pure gold. This coin features the stately and elegant leaf of a silver maple, with its distinctive silvery-white underside seemingly shimmering as it basks in the golden sunlight.
The reverse design by Canadian artist Margaret Best captures the lifelike beauty of an iconic Canadian maple by bringing together two silver maple leaves. Both are depicted in a downward position, as they often appear naturally when attached to a branch. The view of the leaf's upper surface (foreground, right) dominates the field; slightly curling at the tips, it bears the deeply veined pattern that produces an intricate, almost lace-like appearance. The crossover of the two stalks adds a sense of layering as the focus transitions to the second leaf (left), which presents its silvery underside. Where the veins are sunken on the first leaf, they are raised and prominent on the second—another example of the characteristic differences between a leaf's two sides, which are further enhanced by the use of matte and polish finishes that recreate the striking visual contrast between the two.
• Mintage: 8,000
• Diameter: 13.92 mm
• Weight: 1/25 oz pure gold
