2013 Canada 1 oz Silver $20 Maple Canopy Spring (w/Box & COA)

---

In 2013, Canada released a remarkable silver coin that invites viewers to look upward through the branches of one of its most iconic trees. This one-ounce coin, minted in exceptionally pure 0.9999 fine silver, captures the essence of spring through a unique perspective. The design presents a view from the forest floor looking up into a lush canopy of maple leaves, which are brought to life with vivid colorization. The reverse of the coin features this creative botanical illustration by artist Emily Damstra, showing the intricate branches and bright foliage of a Canadian maple. The obverse displays the classic portrait of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Susanna Blunt. With a face value of 20 Dollars, this proof-quality coin is backed by the government of Canada and was limited to a mintage of 7,500 pieces, making it a fascinating study in modern minting artistry and color application.
