A Highly Detailed, Original Work of Art! This eleventh release in the new O Canada series features a meticulously rendered design by Canadian artist Emily Damstra. A right hand holds three of three different species with pride. Reaching from the right side of the bottom half of the central field, the hand grasps the stems of the leaves. In front and at the far left is a Douglas Maple leaf (Acer glabrum var. douglasii). In the center is a Mountain Maple leaf (Acer spicatum). On the right and further back are the distinctive lobes of a Sugar Maple (Acer saccharum). The design also features a stylized maple leaf silhouette to the left of the main design, balancing the date of issue to the right. The distinct design hallmark of the O Canada series has the central image set between two semi-circular banners (each laser polished to a gleaming, mirror-like finish) with the top band proudly proclaiming the legend “Canada”, and the denomination in the lower band.

In the ever-changing tectonics of Canadian culture, identifiers tend to reflect the nation’s multicultural nature and its geography, fauna and flora, and social and political institutions. Born of this complex background, Canadian icons are distinct because they carry meaning for all Canadians, regardless of where we live or how we came to be here. These are the images that plumb the depths of Canadian pride and kindle Canadians’ love for their home. Strong and Free: The Maple Leaf From backpackers in Berlin to peacekeepers in Pakistan, Canadians are immediately identifiable by a singular image they faithfully sport on pins, badges, and appliques: the red maple leaf. This cipher has symbolized Canada and Canadians for two hundred years. Early in the colonial history of Canada, the maple leaf came to be celebrated in song and verse as a distinctly Canadian symbol, and Canadians from all walks of life wore symbolic maple markers, such as lapel pins, with pride. Ultimately, a representation of the maple leaf came to sit at the very centre of the country’s national marker: the Canadian flag. In 1964, Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson sought to replace Canada’s British-derived flag in order to promote Canadian identity and unity in anticipation of the upcoming centennial of Confederation in 1967. From various design submissions, the parliamentary committee responsible for this task ultimately chose a red stylized maple leaf on a white ground flanked by two red bars. The colours red and white had been Canada’s national colours since 1921, and the red maple leaf had been in official use by the Canadian military and by Canadian Olympic athletes since the turn of the 20th century. In addition to the maple leaf’s presence on the national flag and various provincial flags and coats of arms, the country’s coinage has featured individual maple leaves, maple wreaths, and maple boughs in various forms since the country introduced its own currency in the Victorian era. The maple leaf was present on all Canadian coins from 1876 to 1901 and appeared on Canadian 1-cent pieces until the penny’s production ended in 2012. A Canadian Icon The shady depths and sunny heights of Canada’s vast broadleaf forests are dominated by the hardy maple, a species that has come to represent Canadians’ stalwart spirit and deep connection to the rugged natural landscape of their home. With this symbol, Canadians tell the world about their pride in the northern wilderness and their ability to thrive within it. Copyright © 2024 Talisman World Coins and Medals. All Rights Reserved.
