MAPLE LEAVES IN MOTION Convex 5 Oz Silver Coin 50$ Canada 2017

The reverse of the coin features a swirling cluster of maple leaves, designed by Canadian artist Lisa Thomson-Khan. Together, the unique shape, dynamic design, and mirror-like sheen of the proof finish lend this stunning image a three-dimensional quality that makes it feel as though you're holding a whirlwind in the palm of your hand. The coin's reverse and obverse share a unique relationship not only in their convex/concave shape but also through the reproduction of one of the leaves in a repeating pattern on the obverse. Combined with the obverse's dome-like concave shape, this mesmerizing pattern makes for a dazzling effect. All around the reverse, the inscriptions: "50 DOLLARS" – the face value, "2017" – the year of issue and "CANADA" – the issuing country. The obverse of the coin depicts the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the inscriptions: "ELIZABETH II" – the name of the Queen and "D · G · REGINA" – Dei Gratia Regina.
