2022 Canada $200 Ultra High Relief Gold Maple Leaf - 1 oz Proof Coin

2022 Canada $200 Ultra High Relief Gold Maple Leaf - 1 oz Proof Coin

The first GML engraved in ultra-high relief.

An elevated take on a classic, this is the first ever ultra-high relief Gold Maple Leaf (GML) coin. Struck in a reverse proof finish (frosted field, brilliant relief), the gleaming collectible boasts an impressive peak relief height of 1.8 mm on its reverse, resulting in a more dimensional rendering of the GML’s namesake leaf than ever before.

Behind the scenes, there’s also a personal connection: the relief was sculpted by retired Senior Engraver Susan Taylor, who previously worked under the tutelage of the late Walter Ott, creator of this world-famous leaf portrait.

Elevating a classic: The GML, now in ultra-high relief.

Features

• A special touch. The relief was sculpted by retired RCM Senior Engraver Susan Taylor, who worked under the tutelage of the late Walter Ott, RCM Master Engraver and creator of the GML design.
• Low mintage. A collector favourite, this UHR GML is a limited work of art—only 600 available worldwide.
• Includes serialized certificate. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
• No GST/HST (if applicable)

Enhanced laser engraving
The “heart of the forest” pulsating effect is produced using an array of microscopic cubes that are positioned in such a way that they reflect light back to the viewer, creating the illusion of a shifting and never-ending view. This novel effect was achieved on the master tooling by using advanced laser engraving technology. Traditional engraving is no longer limited to millimetres—it is now possible to achieve engraved details as small as 0.02 mm.

Design

The first UHR GML
This is the first ultra-high relief (UHR) Gold Maple Leaf (GML) coin issued by the Royal Canadian Mint. Crafted in 1 oz. of 99.99% pure gold, this exquisite collectible offers a more dimensional view of the GML’s namesake leaf than ever before.

Ultra high
The reverse features an extraordinary peak relief height of 1.8 mm—much higher than the standard 0.23 mm you’d normally see on a piece this size.

Reverse proof finish
Set against a frosted field, the ultra-high relief dazzles thanks to a mirror-like shine that reflects maximum light.

Packaging

Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.
