Description
Our beloved maple leaf takes center stage within this beautiful pure platinum design, enhanced by a selectively rose gold plated frame. A unique approach, which features a maple leaf-duo, a red maple leaf (Acer rubrum) on the left side next to Canada’s iconic sugar maple (Acer saccharum). The 2020 edition of the Maple Leaf Forever displays a special combination of engraving, finishes and plating. Highlighted by rose gold plating, the reverse proof finish creates an exquisite contrast between the engraved, shiny maple leaves and the frosted field. Adding to its collectability, the mintage is extremely limited to only 250. HST/GST exempt.
The Design:
Against a reverse proof finish, Canadian artist Lisa Thomson Khan has created a special maple leaf portrait, a unique display of Canada’s cultural emblem. Two maple leaf species crossed at the stem are highlighted by a selective application of rose gold plating. Fine details and delicate veining are beautifully engraved within the relief, only to be highlighted by rose gold plating.
