5 oz 2026 Maple Leaves in Motion Rose Gold Plated Proof Silver Coin | Royal Canadian Mint

Classic Canadiana, enhanced with dual gold plating.

Year after year, Maple Leaves in Motion presents creative art and tech pairings that add new visual interest to the familiar sight of a proud maple leaf. For 2026, we’ve opted for a classic look to mark the 30th anniversary of the maple tree’s designation as Canada’s national arboreal emblem. On the coin’s reverse, the largest leaf is plated with rose gold, while the three smaller leaves—one for each decade of the maple tree’s reign as an official emblem—are highlighted with yellow gold. And behind it all, the holograph-like pattern creates the illusion of motion whenever its micro maples catch the light.

• Low mintage. Only 2,000 coins are available to collectors worldwide.
• Includes serialized certificate. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
• No GST/HST.

PACKAGING

Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded red lacquered wood case, which comes packaged in a black beauty box.

YELLOW AND ROSE GOLD

Your coin features rose gold plating on the largest maple leaf on the reverse, the effigy on the obverse, and the rim on both sides. For a luxurious colour contrast, yellow gold highlights the three smaller leaves on the reverse.

MAPLE LEAF PATTERN

Both sides of the coin feature a frosted maple leaf pattern that lights up at just the right angle to create a dynamic background effect.

DID YOU KNOW?

Ten maple species (g. Acer) occur naturally in Canada, which produces roughly 70% of the world’s supply of maple syrup.

Designed by Canadian artist Lisa Thomson-Khan, your coin’s reverse features four traditionally engraved maple leaves—a large one plated with rose gold, and three smaller ones plated with yellow gold—backed by a laser-engraved maple leaf field pattern. The pattern repeats on the obverse, which features the rose gold-plated effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
