Canada’s beauty shines through these multifaceted maple leaves. Order today!
Even in the slightest breeze, the leaves of a silver maple tree shimmer and sway in the sunlight as they flash their silvery undersides. The effect is captured in this 99.99% pure silver portrait, in which the veined Acer saccharinum leaves have been rendered with multifaceted engraving, resulting in a dazzling new view of a famous Canadian emblem. Within the familiar leaf silhouette, the carefully sculpted and precisely angled lines rise and fall, reflecting and scattering light in different directions to produce a gleaming work of art—one that reflects the beauty of Canada’s most treasured symbol.
Add this multifaceted maple celebration to your collection.
The silver maple is one of the 10 maple species (genus Acer) that were proclaimed Canada’s national arboreal emblem in 1996. While its common name refers to the bright undersides of its leaves, the scientific name Acer saccharinum is a nod to the silver maple’s sweet sap—though it’s not as sweet as the sap of a sugar maple (Acer saccharum), the preferred species for maple syrup production.
The reverse design by Canadian artist Michelle Grant features an arrangement of three silver maple (Acer saccharinum) leaves brought to life by multifaceted engraving, with precisely angled lines rising and falling within each leaf shape, like mirrors working to reflect brilliant light in different directions. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
