This exquisite set of 2010 $75 14-karat gold coins celebrates Canada’s four-season beauty with four coins, each one a special tribute to the maple tree during spring, summer, autumn and winter. Selective colour applied to each design highlights the unique characteristics for each time of year. Mintage is limited to 1,000 sets.

The Design:

A beautifully-constructed bird’s nest sheltered among fresh green maple leaves (Spring); two cherished summertime sights—a Monarch butterfly and vibrant maple leaves (Summer); red autumn leaves with river stones (Autumn); autumn leaves that have settled into a hollow of a tree trunk (Winter).
