2024 Canada 2 oz Gold $200 Proud Maple (Box/COA)

This striking release from 2024 showcases the artistic possibilities of modern minting, combining deep relief with vibrant color. Struck in two ounces of exceptionally pure 0.9999 gold, the coin features a dramatic "maple burst" pattern radiating across both its sides, creating a dynamic visual texture that catches the light. On the reverse, the iconic maple leaf design originally created by Walter Ott is struck incuse, sinking an impressive 1.5 millimeters into the surface of the coin. This deep impression is filled with translucent red enamel, highlighting the leaf's intricate veins and shape. The reverse is also inscribed with the purity of "9999" and the weight designation "FINE GOLD 2 OZ OR PUR". The obverse presents a rose gold-plated portrait of King Charles III, designed by Steven Rosati. This elegant effigy stands out against the radiating background pattern, while the inscriptions confirm the face value of "200 DOLLARS" and the year "2024". With a highly restricted release of just 250 pieces, this proof-quality coin represents a remarkable technical achievement by the Royal Canadian Mint, blending traditional symbolism with innovative design elements.
