A Brilliant Tribute to Canada’s Sugar Maple
The 2025 Canada Elegant Maple 1 oz Silver Gilded Matte Proof Rhodium Coin celebrates the timeless beauty of one of Canada’s most cherished emblems. The sugar maple, known for its distinctive lobes and deeply veined structure, stands as a national symbol of resilience and grace. On this release from the Royal Canadian Mint, the leaf takes center stage, enhanced with rich gold plating that glows against a field of black rhodium. The result is a bold contrast of light and dark, brilliance and matte, that elevates the maple leaf to a true work of numismatic art.
Exceptional Craftsmanship in Silver and Gold
This collectible is struck in 1 troy ounce (31.39 grams) of 99.99% pure silver, crafted to the Mint’s renowned standards. Measuring 38 mm in diameter with a finely serrated edge, it carries a face value of $20 CAD. The reverse, designed by artist Donna Kriekle, features the gold-plated maple leaf set against a rhodium-plated matte proof background, allowing every vein and contour to stand out in remarkable detail. On the obverse, artist Steven Rosati’s effigy receives the same gold treatment, ensuring harmony across both sides.
Limited Mintage and Collectible Appeal
With only 5,500 coins available worldwide, the Elegant Maple offers exclusivity to collectors who value both artistry and rarity. The matte proof finish adds depth and visual drama, while the selective plating techniques highlight the Mint’s technical expertise. Moreover, the combination of precious silver, gold accents, and rhodium finish ensures this coin appeals equally to investors and collectors seeking a unique addition.
Presentation and Legacy
Each coin arrives in a black clamshell case within a black beauty box, accompanied by an official Certificate of Authenticity. This refined packaging makes it ideal for presentation or long-term storage. More than a silver coin, the Elegant Maple reflects Canada’s heritage and the Mint’s dedication to innovation. Collectors who secure this piece add both a national treasure and a rare strike to their holdings.
