The Royal Canadian Mint (RCM) has issued the Gold Maple Leaf series for more than four decades. This 2022 dated Maple Leaf coin represents the first release in the history of the series to feature an Ultra High Relief strike, which translates the historic design to an astounding height of 1.8 mm! Paired with a reverse proof finish, the result is a breathtaking numismatic work of art. Acclaimed sculptor Walter Ott (1920-2020), the Mint's Chief Engraver and Director of Art from 1977 until his 1985 retirement, created the time-honored maple leaf graphic in 1979 for the introduction of the Gold Maple Leaf series. The iconic design was transformed into a highly sculptural Ultra High Relief masterpiece by Susan Taylor, a currently retired RCM Senior Engraver who began her career as a Mint Engraver apprentice to Mr. Ott in 1981.
