In the background, numerous sugar maple leaves are layered one on top of another, still resplendent in summer’s green hues. In the foreground, a branch is dotted with leaves that have begun their transition to the brilliant fall tints of red, orange and yellow when the coin is removed from natural light, a maple leaf appears in the center of the image.
The face value and date, “20 DOLLARS” and “2014” are engraved along the top curve of the coin, while the words “FINE SILVER 1 OZ ARGENT PUR” are seen along the bottom, with the silver fineness “9999” on either side.
The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
