A study in contrasts, with reverse gold plating and multiple engraving styles. Order today.

A popular issue year after year, the Royal Canadian Mint’s Maple Leaves in Motion coin turns up the contrast in 2025 with reverse yellow gold plating and multiple engraving styles. Like sunshine spilling across the coin’s surface, the yellow gold plating adds a visual warmth that evokes joy and vitality. It also creates a striking contrast between the two traditionally engraved maple leaves and the non-plated one, which has a more modern look thanks to multifaceted engraving. Tilt the coin to catch the light, and all those reflective facets make the silver leaf sparkle like a jewel, while the laser-engraved pattern in the background adds depth within the design.

See how this multifaceted maple leaf shines bright. 

The leaves on the coin are based on those of a sugar maple tree, Acer saccharum, the preferred species for making maple syrup (Canada is the world’s top producer of maple syrup).

Designed by Canadian artist Lisa Thomson-Khan, the coin’s reverse features two traditionally engraved sugar maple (Acer saccharum) leaves and a third leaf brought to life by multifaceted engraving. The contrast between the engraving styles is further heightened by the application of yellow gold plating to all but the foremost leaf, while a laser-engraved maple leaf pattern fills the field. The pattern repeats on the obverse, which is also almost entirely plated with yellow gold, save for the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
