1/2 oz Maple Leaf Gold Coin (2020)
The Maple Leaf represents strength, unity, and peace. Its importance for Canadians dates back to precolonial times when the indigenous people of North America used the Maple Tree as an important source of food. This was later incorporated by settlers who upon arriving in Canada were not accustomed to the harsh winter climates and scarce food availability. The Maple Leaf evolved to have a strong historical context of both survival and connectivity to the local indigenous people. It has since been featured on coins and flags including the modern Canadian flag established in 1965.
