Description

Marking a maple milestone in affordable gold. 

Canadians see the maple leaf as a popular emblem that proudly expresses our identity and culture, and our national tree, the maple (g. Acer), is an extension of that national pride. As we mark the 30th anniversary of Canada’s arboreal emblem in 2026, this small-sized (11 mm) 99.99% pure gold coin honours the significance of the maple tree and its cultural importance across Canada, where the maple is more than a landscape feature—it’s part of who we are, a symbol of Canada’s sovereignty intertwined with our distinct spirit, history, heritage and values.

Beauty meets value with this 0.5 g pure gold coin.

Special features

  • Beauty and value combined. Celebrate the 30th anniversary of Canada’s arboreal emblem with a miniature (11 mm) maple showcase crafted in 99.99% pure gold.

DID YOU KNOW?

The Proclamation Designating the Maple Tree as National Arboreal Emblem of Canada (SI/96-36) specifies that “the maple tree (genus Acer) has ten species native to Canada.” Those species are: sugar, silver, black, bigleaf, red, mountain, striped, Douglas, vine and Manitoba maples.

Obverse

Steven Rosati

The reverse design by Canadian artist Nathalie Lagacé is double-dated (“1996 2026”) to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Canada’s arboreal emblem, the maple tree (g. Acer); it features two silver maple (Acer saccharinum) leaves presented in a natural, realistic style. The foremost leaf appears larger than the rear one, whose curled basal lobe evokes the feeling of movement and a gentle breeze. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.

Nathalie Lagacé, Artist

“Its lobes, adorned with numerous serrations, and its graceful appearance make it a captivating leaf to work with. A light breeze in this illustration allowed me to suggest the two shades of this leaf: pale green above and silvery grey below.”

“The 1996 Proclamation designating the maple tree (genus Acer) as national arboreal emblem of Canada acknowledges the national and international distinction of the maple as a Canadian symbol. Thirty years on the proclamation, having included all 10 species of maples native to Canada, continues to reflect the maple’s historical, economic, and environmental significance to Canadians everywhere.”
