Product Overview
About the Maple Leaf
Few icons are as inextricably linked to Canada as the mighty maple leaf. It's a proud national emblem that is evocative of Canada's natural beauty, and has inspired artists, graced the uniforms of soldiers pursuing peace, and given hope to new Canadians looking for opportunities. It continues to evoke a sense of national identity among the millions who call Canada home. In addition to the maple leaf's presence on various provincial flags and coats of arms, the country's coinage has featured maple leaves, wreaths and boughs in various forms for most of Canada's history. In fact, the maple leaf was present on all Canadian coins from 1876 to 1901. Since that time, it has always appeared on Canadian pennies until 2012.
About Canada Geese
This migratory bird is undeniably Canadian, beautiful and serene with its long black-and-white head and neck, brown body and webbed feet. The Canada goose has been on commemorative coins and stamps, and has inspired countless Canadian artists. As we turn our eyes to the sky we can see how graceful they look, flying in their "V" formation as they go south for the winter, or when they return in the spring.
