LE SAVIEZ-VOUS ?

The tree of life can also be interpreted as a collective family tree that represents the ties that bind us all—not just the links between our past, present and future, but our connection to each other, as individuals, citizens and humans.

Designed by Canadian artist Steve Hepburn, the coin’s reverse features an artistic interpretation of Canada’s national arboreal emblem, the maple (g. Acer), reimagined as a tree of life and plated with yellow gold. The tree’s curled roots dig deep into the ground to provide a solid foundation for the twisting trunk, the strong branches that stretch up and out, and the sugar maple leaves that are bathed in golden sunlight. Behind the tree, the engraved background combines various land features—mountain ranges, rivers and forests—to showcase the many majestic landscapes that Canada has to offer. The rim on both sides is also plated with yellow gold, while the obverse features a wave pattern and the gold-plated effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.

À PROPOS DE LA MONNAIE ROYALE CANADIENNE

La Monnaie royale canadienne est connue pour être l'une des monnaies les plus réputées au monde. La succursale d'Ottawa de la Monnaie royale a ouvert ses portes en 1908 et a été rebaptisée Monnaie royale canadienne en 1931 lorsque le contrôle a été transféré au gouvernement canadien. Ses normes élevées d'excellence et de qualité lui ont permis d'être la première raffinerie à fabriquer des pièces d'investissement en or d'une pureté de 9999 en 1982, ainsi que la première à atteindre une pureté d'or de 99999 en 1998.
