The first Gold Maple Leaf engraved in ultra-high relief. Order today!

An elevated take on a classic, this is the first ever ultra-high relief Gold Maple Leaf (GML) coin. Struck in a reverse proof finish (frosted field, brilliant relief), the gleaming collectible boasts an impressive peak relief height of 1.8 mm on its reverse, resulting in a more dimensional rendering of the GML’s namesake leaf than ever before. Behind the scenes, there’s also a personal connection: the relief was sculpted by retired Senior Engraver Susan Taylor, who previously worked under the tutelage of the late Walter Ott, creator of this world-famous leaf portrait.
