Reverse description
Stylishly framed by the coin’s scallop-shaped edge, the reverse image is a smaller-sized reinterpretation of the million-dollar coin designed by Royal Canadian Mint artist and senior engraver, Stan Witten. Highly detailed engraving faithfullyre-creates the wind-blown trio of iconic maple leaves. The addition of gold plating across the coin’s surface alludes to the rich gleam of the original 99.999% pure gold coin issued in 2007. The reverse also features the face value “20 DOLLARS” and the year “2018”.
