Our biggest Murano glass sculpture ever on a coin!
This spectacular coin features our biggest Murano glass sculpture ever. It's the perfect enhancement to showcase Canada's iconic maple leaf in the radiant colours of autumn. Every Murano glass sculpture delivers a visual feast of fiery reds, oranges and golden yellows, framed by a ring of silver maple leaves that punctuates the show. What's more, each Murano leaf is handcrafted and totally unique—a very collectible keepsake celebratingthe timeless, ever-dazzling beauty of the maple leaf. Designed by Canadian artist Lisa Thompson-Khan, your coin puts Canada's national symbol front and centre while conveying autumn's colourful splendours! As though carried to the ground by the autumn breeze, several engraved maple leafs arepositioned all along the perimeter. The highly detailed engraving gives them a life-like quality by recreating the veins that run through each lobe; the gentle furl of a fallen leaf; and their unmistakably serrated edge. Alternating finishing techniques make each leaf distinct from the other, and together,they form a circular frame that brings the focus ona large, maple leaf–shaped Venetian glass embellishment. Handcrafted by master glass-maker
Vio Col Vetro of Murano, Italy, the centred glass element is resplendent in the yellows, oranges and reds that are associated with autumn's colour palette.
