Spring in Canada is an exciting time of the year, for a number of reasons. Not only does the icy grip of winter finally begin to let go a bit, but in Canada, the maple syrup sap starts to flow. Maple syrup has long been appreciated as a topping for waffles and pancakes, but it has a history that goes back to before Europeans arrived to colonize the land. Canada is the leading nation in the production of maple products, accounting for 71% of the pure maple syrup in the world.

This coin is a colorized proof. The background of the coin is beautifully mirrored, with several aspects of the design being colorized and frosted.
