AUTUMN FIRE Maple Leaf Cut Out 1 Oz Gold Coin

AUTUMN FIRE Maple Leaf Cut Out 1 Oz Gold Coin 200$ Canada 2017

The Royal Canadian Mint proudly introduces its first coloured Maple Leaf Cut Out coin, a maple leaf-shaped coin minted in 1 troy ounce fine gold. This cut out Maple Leaf is introduced as a tribute to Canada’s most iconic national symbol, the Maple Leaf.

The Cut Out 1 oz gold Maple Leafs are minted in a strictly limited edition of 600 pieces. As in nature, the coin’s rimless edge re-creates the curved sinuses between the pointed lobes that make this Canadian emblem instantly recognizable. Its fall colours are brought to life through the skilful use of GRADIENCE technology—a translucent colour application that allows for a true-to-life gradation. Moving from the leaf’s tips towards its centre, the fiery red softly fades and gradually transitions to the natural radiance of the gold coin’s surface. The complexity of the engraving is evident on the obverse, where the leaf’s deep veins only add to the intricate beauty of this everlasting tribute to Canada’s national symbol. The reverse features the engraved face value “200 DOLLARS” and the year “2017”. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth by Susanna Blunt.
