Coin Celebrates Canada's Forests With Pulsating Fields And Ultra High Relief Detail. In 2024 for the third year of Canada's Ultra High Relief Maple Leaf series, the one-ounce silver coin has elevated Taylor's design into a new dimension with a technologically advanced striking method that creates a unique pulsating field. Here's how it works: Hundreds of micro-engineered, precision-engraved, sub-millimeter-scale surfaces have been struck into the fields of this coin in such a manner that the boreal forests of Canada seem to rise from their surfaces as the coin is rotated.
The Forest Field is repeated on both sides of the coin, further incorporating the very forests that make up so much of Canada's landscape into the coin's design! Simply put, these coins are not only miniature works of art but also miniature sculptures.
What's more, they were also struck as Reverse Proof coins. A Reverse Proof is the opposite of a regular Proofs that features frosted details rising over mirror-like fields. Reverse Proofs have mirror-like details rising over beautifully frosted fields. It's an especially breathtaking effect when used in combination with the coin's dramatic relief. Flawless Proofs From Among The First Issued.Each coin will also come sonically sealed in a museum-quality acrylic holder and encapsulated with a label personally signed by its designer, Susan Taylor, the former Senior Engraver at the Royal Canadian Mint. Taylor worked at The Mint from 1981 until her retirement in 2017 and won the American Medal of the Year Award in 2016. Rake Up Your Maple Leaf Before They're All Gone!
