enduring motif in many cultures around the world, the tree of life
beautifully symbolizes growth and strength, as well as the cyclical nature and
interconnectedness of all living things. This 5 oz. 99.99% pure silver coin from
the Royal Canadian Mint puts a Canadian spin on that classic image by
incorporating Canada’s national arboreal emblem, the maple (g. Acer).
Backed by an impressive landscape and highlighted with yellow gold, this
inspiring maple tree is hardy and resilient and full of life, its roots digging deep
to provide a secure foundation for the branches that stretch up and out, and
for the maple leaves that shine with golden sunlight.

A Canadian emblem, reimagined: This 5 oz. 99.99% pure silver coin features
an inspiring, artistic interpretation of Canada’s national arboreal emblem
(g. Acer), reimagined here as the tree of life.

➢ The Tree of Life is a common concept in many cultures around the
world and in Canada; while its meaning may vary depending on
mythological, religious, and philosophical traditions, it is a
fundamental archetype representing connection and strength.
➢ Selective gold plating highlights the maple tree, the rim on both
sides, and the effigy on the obverse.
➢ The engraved landscape continues the Canadian theme by
providing a glimpse of Canada’s renowned beauty.
➢ The 5 oz. format provides a large canvas (65 mm) that is better
suited to a complex, richly detailed design.
