As a symbol of Canada, the maple leaf evokes freedom for people around the world. It's an ideal that has lured untold multitudes across great open waters to a New World; its vast, unknown and untamed nature diminished by the people's resolution to start anew, to turn a new leaf.
This coin features the highest relief the Royal Canadian Mint has achieved on a 5 oz. blank. It requires that each coin be struck multiple times using enhanced tooling developed specifically for the demanding pressures and then meticulously crafted and the die finally is polished by hand for a stunning result.
