2014 Canada $5 Platinum Coin Overlaid Majestic Maple Leaves (No Tax)

The association between the maple leaf and Canada is so powerful that many people would be surprised to learn that there are, in fact, some 115 species of maple trees to be found around the world. The majority grow in Eastern Asia while ten maple species are indigenous to Canada. The maple was a staple in Aboriginal life long before European settlers arrived on North America's shores, and its importance has endured for centuries, making it an internationally recognized symbol of the pride and excellence of all things "Canadian."

Canadian artist Pierre Leduc has created an uplifting design that highlights the distinctive contours of Canada's iconic national symbol and adds an interesting dimension by superimposing it with a smaller, contrasting maple leaf.
