| Reverse description | The reverse displays a highly detailed, naturalistic rendering of a maple branch bearing several lobed maple leaves in various stages of growth, with prominent veining and surface texture executed in fine relief. The composition is centered on the branch extending across the field, evoking the iconic Canadian silver maple leaf motif in an expansive botanical format. The legend CANADA 2017 arcs above, while the purity and weight inscriptions 9999 FINE GOLD 1 1/2 OZ OR PUR appear in the lower field, affirming the coin's .9999 fine gold content of one and a half troy ounces. The design is attributed to the artist SW (Stan Witten) as indicated by the initials on the die. |
