This $10 coin is 99.99% pure silver, with a diameter of 34 millimetres and a metal weight of 15.87 grams. The evocative reverse design by Canadian artist Claudio D'Angelo depicts a young girl on a tree swing in a grand old maple tree. In the lower left segment of the image, a young girl with pigtails holds merrily onto the two ropes holding her board swing, smiling gaily down at the viewer, who sees the scene from the point of view of someone looking up from below. The swing's ropes are tied to a thick, sturdy bough, leading the view upwards through the dense canopy of the iconic sugar maple. The scene is framed on the lower right side of the image by a group of maple leaves rooted close to the ground. The reverse is engraved with the word "CANADA," the date "2014" and the face value of "10 DOLLARS." The outer frame of the image also features two stylized sugar maple leaves. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
