About the Design:
Designed by Canadian artist Lisa Thompson-Khan, your coin puts Canada's national symbol front and centre while conveying autumn's colourful splendours! As though carried to the ground by the autumn breeze, several engraved maple leafs arepositioned all along the perimeter. The highly detailed engraving gives them a life-like quality by recreating the veins that run through each lobe; the gentle furl of a fallen leaf; and their unmistakably serrated edge. Alternating finishing techniques make each leaf distinct from the other, and together,they form a circular frame that brings the focus ona large, maple leafÃshaped Venetian glass embellishment. Handcrafted by master glass-maker
Vio Col Vetro of Murano, Italy, the centred glass element is resplendent in the yellows, oranges and reds that are associated with autumn's colour palette.
