Spring is one of Canada’s most exciting seasons simply for its explosion of fresh new life. The land seems to change by the hour as new buds and leaves burst forth to soak up the sun. The air is fresh and full of life. Yet, one of spring’s most spectacular sights is a towering maple tree with its canopy of fresh, vivid leaves; and one of the best places to enjoy its beauty is from the trunk, looking up.

Coin is an exciting keepsake celebrating the maple tree, Canada’s cherished arboreal emblem, from a fresh new perspective. Сoin includes texture and tonal detailing in the trunk, branches and leaves that emphasize the sense of height and depth in this innovative design.

Coin was designed by Canadian artist Margaret Best who has created a breathtaking design of a maple tree at its springtime best. Its dynamic and unexpected viewpoint begins at the base of the trunk and leads the eye upwards towards the tree’s magnificent canopy beautifully enhanced in vivid hues of springtime green. A branch in the foreground provides the added perspective to bring the maple leaf’s distinctive shape into view.
