| Reverse description | A richly detailed scene depicting the traditional Canadian maple syrup harvest, known as the sugar bush. In the central foreground, a seated male figure in period working attire tends to a collection bucket at the base of a tapped maple tree, with sap lines visible in the background. To the left, a figure bores a tap hole into a tree, while to the right a secondary scene shows sap being gathered and boiled over an open fire in evaporating pans. The denomination 200 DOLLARS appears to the right of the central figure, and the legend CANADA is inscribed along the lower rim. The initials JDM appear in the lower left field. |

| Additional information |
Part of the Royal Canadian Mint's ongoing 22-karat gold hologram series celebrating Canadian traditions, this 1995 issue depicts the maple syrup harvest — a practice rooted in Indigenous knowledge that French colonists adopted and commercialized by the 18th century. Quebec alone produces roughly 70% of the world's maple syrup supply, a dominance established well before Confederation.
The series was among the first in the world to successfully integrate holographic technology into a circulating-quality gold coin, a process the RCM developed in-house during the early 1990s.
