2025 S$50 5oz Silver, Triple Maple Leaf PR DCAM

A New Take On A Canadian Classic

The Maple Leaf is a symbol of Canada's national pride and identity, representing the country's natural beauty, strength, and unity. It is prominently displayed on the national flag, worn by athletes at international events, and featured in various government insignias, military uniforms, and monuments across Canada. Among the mediums it is hard to overlook is in the Royal Canadian Mint's Maple Leaf series. The series began in 1979 when the first Canadian Maple Leaf coin made its debut. The series has since gone on to become one of the world's most popular annual series. The series takes a break from its normal one-leaf design in 2025 to shows a three-leaf version courtesy of Stan Witten, the highly respected senior engraver at the Royal Canadian Mint.

From The Royal Canadian Mint's Senior Engraver: A Triple Maple Leaf!

Renowned for his exceptional skill and artistry in coin design, Witten has carved out a career spanning several decades. During his career, Witten has made significant contributions to the Mint's iconic collection of coins, medallions, and commemorative pieces, including the design for2007's Big Maple Leaf which at the time received a Guinness World Record for designing the world's largest gold coin. The 200-pound coin measuring 530 mm in diameter was struck in 99.999% pure gold and had a face value of $1 million! To honor Witten for his service to the Royal Canadian Mint, he was offered a chance to design any coin he wished in 2025. Not surprisingly, he selected the Maple Leaf and used three Sugar Maple leaves from his backyard as the models for his take on a Canadian classic.
