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 puts a uniquely 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.

Canada’s arboreal emblem reimagined as the tree of life.
