The maple leaf has long been an internationally recognized emblem of Canada-an iconic symbol that has come to represent the history and identity of its people and the land itself.
In the background, numerous sugar maple leaves are layered one on top of another, still resplendent in summer's green hues. In the foreground, a branch is dotted with leaves that have begun their transition to the brilliant fall tints of red, orange and yellow when the coin is removed from natural light, a maple leaf appears in the centre of the image
