• A SYMBOLIC SHAPE: While the extended form provides extra space for the complex design, the egg shape is also a traditional symbol for rejuvenation and re-birth - an added nod to the sugar maple’s continuous cycle through the four seasons, beginning in the spring.
• A (SELECTIVE) GOLDEN TOUCH: Adding to the complexity of the design, selective gold plating adds a "sunlit" glow to the summer leaves, and a touch of warmth next to the polished proof shine of the wintry landscape.
• RE-CREATES NATURE’S COLOURS: Two of Canada’s most colourful seasons are brought to life by selective colour, which re-creates the hopeful hues of spring and the spectacular nature of the sugar maple’s fall foliage.
