On the reverse side is a distinct depiction of the Canadian emblem of national pride, the maple leaf. Surrounded by radial lines, the maple leaf pops out almost as though a real leaf had been printed onto the coin itself.
This image represents the beautiful autumn colours that vividly indicate the change of a new season and the landscape in its loveliest period. #### ABOUT THE ROYAL CANADIAN MINT The Royal Canadian Mint is known as one of the most reputable mints in the world. The Ottawa Branch of the Royal Mint opened in 1908 and was renamed The Royal Canadian Mint in 1931 when control was transferred to the Canadian government. Their high standards for excellence and quality allowed them to be the first refinery to manufacture 9999 fine gold bullion coins in 1982, as well as the first to reach 99999 fine gold purity in 1998.
