Exceptionally low mintage of only 300 sets means that these coins are sure to be sought after by collectors around the world. HST/GST exempt.
The Design:
This exquisite 3-coin set is struck in 99.99% pure gold. Each coin has a diameter of 30 millimetres and a metal weight of 31.16 grams. The reverse designs by Canadian artist Michelle Grant feature sugar maple leaves at each stage of autumnal colouration. Each coin bears a detailed engraving of three tumbling maple leaves, one of which is selectively coloured. On the first coin, the coloured leaf is the sugar maple’s natural dark green. On the second, the central leaf has begun its transformation and its green centre is rimmed in gold and orange and outlined in red. Its stem has turned red as well. On the third coin, the coloured leaf is deep crimson. The reverse of each coin is engraved with the text “CANADA,”, the face value of “200 DOLLARS,”, and the date “2015.”. The obverse of each coin features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
