The coin with a denomination of 20 dollars, made of pure silver, is an extraordinary testament to the famous Silver Maple Leaf (SML) design. It is crafted with precision in ultra-high relief, beautifully capturing the intricate details of the iconic SML against the picturesque forest landscape of Canada. It is a valuable edition, showcasing the timeless elegance and craftsmanship of one of Canada's most beloved numismatic symbols – the maple leaf.
The captivating bullion design of the Silver Maple Leaf (SML), by Walter Ott, forms the reverse of the coin. It is crafted with extraordinary precision in ultra-high relief. The majestic leaf, symbolizing the natural beauty of Canada, rises against the backdrop of a mesmerizing, pulsating "heart of the forest" pattern. A sophisticated technique is applied here, involving the intricate arrangement of microscopic cubes, strategically placed to reflect light, creating an intriguing illusion for the observer. As a result, when viewed at an angle, a swaying coniferous forest becomes noticeable.
The obverse of the coin features the image of His Majesty King Charles III, expertly depicted by Canadian artist Steven Rosati. This likeness adds royal majesty to Canada's natural wonders. There are also inscriptions attesting to the coin's purity and authenticity.
Canadian forests are more than just geographical features of the country — they are an integral part of its national identity. They create a rich tapestry of biodiversity, embodying the Canadian spirit of resilience and abundance. This deep connection inspired the creation of the "heart of the forest" design adorning this silver coin. Against this captivating backdrop, misty trees come to life in a mesmerizing dance, offering glimpses of the leaf (SML). This coin showcases the beauty and immense significance of Canadian forests, inviting collectors to immerse themselves in the splendor of natural heritage.
The maple leaf, as a symbol of Canada, was first used in 1834. In 1921, it was added to the Canadian coat of arms. In 1867, Alexander Muir composed a patriotic song titled "The Maple Leaf Forever," which became an unofficial anthem in the English-speaking part of Canada. The maple leaf also became an integral symbol featured on Canadian coins.
Maples were already growing when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. The maple was once a staple food for Indigenous Canadians, but it was also known for its wide range of medicinal uses.
With Canada's growing independence from Great Britain, the need for minting its own coins also increased. Therefore, in 1908, the Royal Canadian Mint was established and has since become one of the most important mints in the world. To this day, all coins from the Royal Canadian Mint bear the portrait of the reigning British monarch.
The Mint's shares are held in trust for the Crown of Canada.
The Mint produces all Canadian circulation coins and is involved in designing and manufacturing collector coins from precious metals - gold, silver, palladium, and platinum bullion coins, medals, as well as medallions and tokens. It also offers gold and silver refining services.
Today, the Royal Canadian Mint sets standards in the field of minting technology and numismatic design, attesting to its position and reputation.
