Maple Leaf Impression

The second coin in the Royal Canadian Mint’s series of coloured maple leaves.

Canada has had a long relationship with the maple leaf, one that hearkens back to the beginning of the 18th century, when the maple leaf was adopted by French Canadians who dwelled along the St. Lawrence River; it was described by the first mayor of Montreal as “the symbol of the Canadian people”. By the mid-1800s, it came to be included in the Coat of Arms of both Ontario and Quebec, and by 1921, was included in the federal Coat of Arms of Canada. In 1965, Canada’s flag was changed from the Canadian Red Ensign to the maple leaf flag we know and love today. Here we have the second coin in the Royal Canadian Mint’s series of coloured maple leaves.

Maple Leaf Impression

This year, the Mint presents the green maple leaf, which has historically symbolized Quebec (while a gold maple leaf has symbolized Ontario). Around the vivid green leaf is a series of maple leaf clusters that celebrates Canada’s uniqueness.

The reverse image features the impression of a coloured maple leaf amongst smaller maple leaves.
