An enduring motif in many cultures around the world, the tree of life beautifully symbolizes growth and strength, as well as the cyclical nature and interconnectedness of all living things. This 5 oz. 99.99% pure silver coin from the Royal Canadian Mint puts a Canadian spin on that classic image by incorporating Canada’s national arboreal emblem, the maple (g. Acer). Backed by an impressive landscape and highlighted with yellow gold, this inspiring maple tree is hardy and resilient and full of life, its roots digging deep to provide a secure foundation for the branches that stretch up and out, and for the maple leaves that shine with golden sunlight.

KEY FEATURES:

• The Tree of Life is a common concept in many cultures around the world and in Canada; while its meaning may vary depending on mythological, religious, and philosophical traditions, it is a fundamental archetype representing connection and strength.
• Selective gold plating highlights the maple tree, the rim on both sides, and the effigy on the obverse.
• The engraved landscape continues the Canadian theme by providing a glimpse of Canada’s renowned beauty.
• The 5 oz. format provides a large canvas (65 mm) that is better
  suited to a complex, richly detailed design.
