Design:
There's a strong sense of realism in this precision-crafted coin, which is carefully shaped to resemble a sugar maple leaf (Acer saccharum). As in nature, the coin's rimless edge re-creates the curved sinuses between the pointed lobes that make this Canadian emblem instantly recognizable. Its fall colours are brought to life through the skilful use of GRADIENCE technology-a translucent colour application that allows for a true-to-life gradation. Moving from the leaf's tips towards its centre, the fiery red softly fades and gradually transitions to the natural radiance of the gold coin's surface. The complexityof the engraving is evident on the obverse, where the leaf's deep veins only add to the intricatebeauty of this everlasting tribute to Canada's national symbol. The reverse features the engraved face value "200 DOLLARS" and the year "2017". The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth by Susanna Blunt.
