Design:
Canadian artist Nathalie Lagacé has beautifully portrayed the distinctive character of five different maple species: the sugar maple (1kg), silver (1/2kg), Douglas (5oz), black (2oz) and bigleaf (1oz). A cluster of maple leaves dominates the centre of the coin and is finely engraved to illustrate the overall shape,veining, lobes and edging that distinguish each maple species from the others. Two boughs of maple leaves arch upwards along the outer edges of the design, creating a framework reminiscent of pre-Confederation circulation coins. A ribbon flows through eachdesign in a unique way. It wraps itself around thecentral leaves, and weaves its way through the boughs, bringing a heraldic touch to the design as it ties all the elements together. A single, small leafis engraved at the bottom of the design. It is flanked by the ribbon ends, with "2020" engraved above, and "CANADA" engraved along the upper edge of the coin. The effigy of Her MajestyQueen Elizabeth by Susanna Blunt with "ELIZABETH II D.G. REGINA" and "250 DOLLARS"engraved around the circumference of the 1-kilogramcoin. The maple species featured on the reverse also appears on the obverse as a background pattern.

"Trees area major part of my art – and my life. The moment Istep into any wooded area, I feel a magical, very intimate connection with nature that allows me to gobeyond the botanical features to uncover a tree's unique character. This project introduced me tofive distinct maple personalities."               Nathalie Lagacé, Artist

"As engravers, we really want to do justice to the artist's designs. With two of us working onthe same project, we checked in with each other regularly to make sure we were interpreting the drawings the same way. It's critical that all fivecoins have the same overall 'look,' even though they were engraved by two individuals."    Eric Boyer and Aida Alves: Engravers  

"A set like this pushes 'teamwork' to a whole new level. I'm so impressed by the commitment and passion everybody showed in the way they came together. We're so proud of this set. It's gorgeous." Matt Eggink: Product Manager
