The broad summer leaves of a maple tree are the ones most often portrayed on our coins. But the younger leaves of spring have more textural details that are the hopeful promise of something new - an inspiring message delivered four-fold by this fractional set. Our annual gold fractional set is breaking new ground for 2020. All four coins are superbly crafted from99.999% (five nines) pure gold, the highest gold purity in the world. More importantly, these ultra pure gold coins are the first of their kind to feature a full hologram on the reverse. And unlike many of our previous sets, the special technology isn't just limited to the larger 1 oz. piece. The same hologram image can be viewed on all four coins, where the colour shift heightens the beauty of our maple arrangement.

Design:
All four coins feature a full hologram image from edge to edge. The reverse design by artist Luc Normandin is a traditional portrait of four young sugar maple leaves (Acer saccharum) on a twig. When the coin is tilted from side to side, the hologram technology colourfully mimics the look of engraved relief. The holographic reverse includes the words "CANADA", the coin's purity and weight, and the year "2020". The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
Did you know...
The sugar maple (featured on this coin) is arguably the most famous maple in Canada. Its sap has the highest concentration of sugar, which makes it ideal for maple syrup production.
Between 1876 and 1901, every circulation coin produced for the Dominion of Canada featured a maple leaf. The cherished symbol continued to appearon our one-cent coin until 2012, when the production of this denomination was officially ended.
