Spring, summer, fall, and winter: Canada's beloved sugar maple is naturally stunning in everyseason! Helped by a combination of artistic touches that stand in for Mother Nature's colour palette, each engraved quadrant on the reverse shows the maple's progression from spring buds to winter-withered leaf. Your coin's unusual contour is also significant: a traditional symbol for re-birth and renewal, the egg shape alludes to a timeless seasonal cycle that begins anew each spring.
