| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed wreath composed of naturalistic maple leaf branches tied at the base with a flowing ribbon bow, framing a centrally positioned single maple leaf rendered in vivid red applied colour — emblematic of Canada's national flag. A scrolled ribbon banner across the centre of the composition bears the centennial dates 1921-2021, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the adoption of red and white as Canada's national colours. The word CANADA is inscribed in bold lettering along the upper rim. The engraver's initials MG appear discreetly in the lower right field. The overall composition is executed in high relief with exceptional sculptural detail, combining colourization and mirror-like proof surfaces. |

Canada's "National Colours" issue belongs to a long-running Royal Canadian Mint program of large-format fine silver kilo coins aimed squarely at the collector market. The 2021 date places it deep in the pandemic period, when demand for precious metal collectibles surged globally as mint shutdowns in several countries created supply gaps. The RCM, whose Ottawa and Winnipeg facilities remained operational with modified protocols, was one of the few major mints able to fulfill that demand without significant production interruption.
