2024 Canada $20 1oz Silver Maple Leaf Pulsating Forest UHR
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. The Design: The coin's reverse features Walter Ott's Silver Maple Leaf (SML) bullion design, struck in ultra high relief. The raised sugar maple (Acer saccharum) leaf is set against a "heart of the forest" pulsating pattern that showcases Canada's vast forests; by tilting the coin, a unique light play creates the illusion of an endless forest on a misty day, with tall conifers seemingly falling in and out of view. The words "CANADA", "FINE SILVER 1 OZ ARGENT PUR" and the purity standard of "9999" are also engraved on the reverse.
The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati. Each additional item for Canada and International is 0.50 cents. (WITH THE EXCEPTION OF GOLD COINS). ONCE YOUR DONE SHOPPING, PLEASE MESSAGE ME AND I WILL SEND YOU A COMBINED INVOICE.
