Reverse description
Set against a matte field, the reverse design features two sugar maple (Acer saccharum) leaves: a classically rendered leaf in the background, and a multifaceted one in the foreground. Rose gold plating on the rim frames the engraving and highlights the foremost leaf, creating a striking colour contrast.
