Canada is a four-season nation known for its year-round beauty, but nature’s ever-shifting palette peaks in the fall, turning our landscapes into a showstopping canopy of colour. This is when the diversity of our vast forests is on full display, with each tree species making a unique contribution to the woodland landscapes that are vital not only to our natural heritage, but to our very identity as Canadians.

The Design:
An expression of pride for these incredible landscapes, the Heart of the Forest pulsating field pattern returns in 2025, transporting the viewer into the heart of a misty forest on the reverse of this 5-oz. coin—the largest (65 mm) of the Royal Canadian Mint’s 2025 Ultra-High Relief (UHR) Silver Maple Leaf (SML) and Gold Maple Leaf (GML) coins. The trees fall in and out of view behind the maple leaf struck in Ultra-High Relief and highlighted by rose gold plating, which stands in for red, the boldest of Canada’s fall hues and official colours.
