Canada: 30ᵗʰ Anniversary of Canada's Arboreal Emblem 2026 Gold Proof Coin

The Canada: 30ᵗʰ Anniversary of Canada's Arboreal Emblem 2026 Gold Coin is a special edition commemorating the 30th anniversary of Canada's designation of the maple as its national tree. This miniature coin, measuring just 11 mm in diameter and weighing 0.5 g, offers an affordable gold option for collectors seeking the purest gold available. The maple has been one of Canada's most important national identity symbols for decades, representing more than just a landscape feature—it's part of the Canadian spirit, a symbol of the country's sovereignty intertwined with its history, heritage, and values.

The coin is struck from 99.99% pure gold with a reverse proof finish, creating a distinctive appearance with a matte background and brilliant relief. Despite its small size—smaller than a dime—the coin features stunning engraved details. The mintage is limited to 20,000 coins worldwide, with a face value of $1 Canadian. It comes packaged in a black clamshell case with a black beauty box measuring 67 mm x 67 mm.

Obverse: Features the effigy of King Charles III, designed by Steven Rosati, along with the face value and year of issue.

Reverse: Depicts an artistic representation of the maple as Canada's national tree, emphasizing its cultural significance and symbolism. The reverse was designed by Nathalie Lagacé.
