2020 Five-Ounce $50 Fine Silver Coin Maple Leaves in Motion

This low-mintage 2020 $50 five-ounce fine-silver coin combines two different plating technologies to showcase Canada's national symbol. The beloved maple leaf takes centre stage highlighted in a layer of pure gold that pops against the black rhodium that fills the background with a dark, fluid transparency. Two more maple leaves round out the spectrum of precious metals with the cool shine of pure silver. This annual series is a long-standing favourite among collectors, with last year's coin selling out immediately.

A gold-plated maple leaf is the commanding focal point of this striking design that also features black rhodium plating to deliver a stunning contrasting effect. The central gold leaf overlaps two silver maple leaves at its base, while a background of finely engraved maple leaves is visible through the black rhodium plating. Maple sprigs and buds in solid black serve as a filigree ornamentation that frames the leaves within the circumference of the coin. The effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt is presented in silver with a background leaf pattern and black rhodium plating filling the remainder of the field.
