1 kilo 2024 Pulsating Maple Leaf Silver Coin | Royal Canadian Mint

A fiery effect, this maple leaf pulsates.

The maple leaf is a cherished symbol of Canada—it represents our home, our hopes and our achievements—and on this 99.99% pure silver kilo coin, the inspirational emblem pulsates with joy and national pride when it catches the light. The effect is made possible by pulsating technology, with hundreds of tiny, micro-engineered mirrors all working to reflect light in a certain way that creates the illusion of movement. This is the first time the technology has been applied to such a large surface and incorporated into a key design feature, and the appearance of the maple leaf’s complex vein pattern makes for an unforgettable viewing experience.

This maple leaf has Canadian pride running through its veins—see for yourself, order today.

A MAPLE LEAF SHOWCASE

The 2024 Silver Maple Leaf kilo coin is a uniquely Canadian expression of joy. Its reverse features a proud maple leaf that seemingly pulsates and shines bright when it catches the light.

PUSLATING TECHNOLOGY

The optical effect is produced by an array of sub-millimetre-scale mirrors, which have been micro-engineered and precisely engraved to reflect light in a way that creates the illusion of movement within the maple leaf.

DID YOU KNOW?

This pulsating maple leaf is based on the leaf of a sugar maple (Acer saccharum) tree, the best source for maple syrup. It is one of 10 different maple species that occur naturally in Canada, where the maple tree (genus Acer) serves as the national arboreal emblem.

The reverse design by Canadian artist Lilyane Coulombe features a crisp-edged sugar maple (Acer saccharum) leaf enhanced by pulsating technology that creates the illusion of movement. The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. The obverse also bears a special marking that includes four pearls symbolizing the four effigies that have graced Canadian coins and the double date of her reign.
