The silver maple tree is a deciduous tree commonly found in eastern and central North America, throughout the United States and Canada. This relatively fast-growing tree is one of the most common trees found in the United States, and has simple, veined broad leaves with deep angular notches.
Many species of maple tree exist in North America and around the world, but the silver maple is easily identifiable by the shape of its foliage, as well as the deeply cut “V” sinuses that define the leaves themselves.
On the obverse of the 2017 1/25 oz Proof Canadian Gold Silver Maple Leaf Coin is the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. The portrait of the Queen appears on all Canadian coinage and has since her ascension to the throne in 1952. This design is the latest image of the Queen available and was created in 2003 by Susanna Blunt.
The reverse of the Gold Silver Maple Leaf Coin includes the image of the iconic silver maple leaves. There are two leaves included in the design and featured in a downward position, a position in which they appear naturally in the world.
Founded in 1908, the Royal Canadian Mint is the official sovereign mint of the nation of Canada. From its original location in Ottawa, the federal capital city, the mint expanded by the 1980s to include a second location in Winnipeg.
