2026 Canada $50 Maple Leaves in Motion - 5 oz Fine Silver Coin with Gold Plating

2026 Canada $50 Maple Leaves in Motion - 5 oz Fine Silver Coin with Gold Plating

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.

Canada’s maple leaf, standing proud in yellow and rose gold.

Features:

• Canadiana with a colourful twist. Silver and two colours of gold—your 5 oz. 99.99% pure silver coin features dual plating on its portrait of a classic Canadian icon, the maple leaf.
• An arboreal anniversary. This year (2026) marks the 30th anniversary of Canada’s national arboreal emblem, the maple tree (Genus Acer), bringing extra meaning to the maple portraits issued for 2026.
• A sellout every year. The combination of a classic Canadian design and modern engraving technologies makes our Maple Leaves in Motion coin a popular annual issue—in fact, it has sold out every year since the series began.
• 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.

Design:

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.

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.

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.
