A Highly Detailed, Original Work of Art! This eleventh release in the new O Canada series features a meticulously rendered design by Canadian artist Emily Damstra. A right hand holds three of three different species with pride. Reaching from the right side of the bottom half of the central field, the hand grasps the stems of the leaves. In front and at the far left is a Douglas Maple leaf (Acer glabrum var. douglasii ). In the center is a Mountain Maple leaf (Acer spicatum ). On the right and further back are the distinctive lobes of a Sugar Maple (Acer saccharum ). The design also features a stylized maple leaf silhouette to the left of the main design, balancing the date of issue to the right. The distinct design hallmark of the O Canada series has the central image set between two semi-circular banners (each laser polished to a gleaming, mirror-like finish) with the top band proudly proclaiming the legend “Canada”, and the denomination in the lower band. Technology Note - Color The Royal Canadian Mint leads the world with its proprietary colorization technology, in which the color is actually sealed on the coin. The intricate detail, smooth gradients, and extreme precision of the technology create a stunning look on each coin.
