Maple Leaf Forever
A powerful symbol ofthe Canadian experience, the maple leaf has the ability to evoke a swelling sense of national pride while reminding us of the beauty of thelandscape. This beloved icon is celebrated in the latest Maple Leaf Forever coin, which pairs an inspirational design with the innovative use of colour technology.
The reverse design by Canadian artist Julius Csotonyi features outstanding full colour over the engraved depiction of a maple leaf, which is seen here as part of Canada’s stunning autumn landscape. In a wooded area, the cool autumn breeze has already caused brightly coloured maple leaves to tumble down to the ground. Each leaf is brought to life through careful engraving and avibrant mix of red, yellow, orange and green colours; these give the leaf pile a natural look and feel while providing a colourful backdropto the fallen tree. Detailed engraving masterfully recreates the rough texture of the fissured bark, upon which lays the beloved Canadian icon: a maple leaf. It, too, is resplendent in full colour against the muted colours of the tree trunk, while shadows subtly infuse the breathtaking design with a sense of light, depth and dimension.
