This Maple Leaves in Motion Coin from the Royal Canadian Mint has a domed shape on the reverse, which at 60 millimeters in diameter is the largest-ever convex coin from the mint. With a domed curvature and reflective proof finish, the coin is aptly named because its reverse imagery actually appears to move away from view.
On the reverse of the 2017 5 oz Proof Canadian Silver Maple Leaves in Motion Coin is the image of a cluster of maple leaves carrying on the breeze. The domed, convex shape of the coin’s reverse makes it actually appears as though the leaves are being carried further away from view toward the edges of the coin’s surface area.
The obverse of all Maple Leaves in Motion Coins includes the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty’s effigy appears on all Canadian coinage, circulation and bullion alike. This recent depiction is the most up-to-date portrait of the Queen and comes from Susanna Blunt, a Canadian artist that create the effigy in 2003.
Founded in 1908 in the federal capital city of Ottawa, the Royal Canadian Mint is the official sovereign mint of Canada. Today it consists of a second facility in Winnipeg that was added to expand mint capacity in the late 20th century.
