The SML, standing proud in ultra‑high relief and backed by a dynamic forest view.
Covering nearly 40% of Canada's total land area, our vast forests are a mosaic of diverse tree species, each one contributing shapes and colours to the woodland landscapes that fall within their natural range—like the sugar maple (Acer saccharum) of eastern Canada, and the balsam fir (Abies balsamea) of eastern and central Canada. Canada's forests are a vital part of our national identity, and this special relationship inspired the new “heart of the forest”, pulsating field pattern on this 1 oz. 99.99% pure silver coin, where mist-shrouded trees fall in and out of view behind the Silver Maple Leaf (SML) rendered in ultra‑high relief.
NEW “heart of the forest” pulsating field pattern! Tilt the coin to see mist-shrouded trees come into view.
