Background

This unique addition to the acclaimed Maple Leaf family is a tribute to the Canadian inspiration that sparked Thomas Edison's earth-shaking light bulb, namely, the research of Canadian scientists Henry Woodward and Mathew Evans.

The coin's reverse features that meticulously rendered, altogether iconic maple leaf design which has made this series so popular, with the addition of a small but meaningful privy mark in the form of the light bulb that began so many bright moments. The Canadian legend also finds home on the reverse, as does the coin's weight and purity.

The obverse feature is Canadian artist, Susanna Blunt's impressive likeness of Elizabeth II, seen in profile. This feature is joined on the obverse by Elizabeth II's name, as well as the coin's unique denominational value.

This striking coin actually marks more than one 'light bulb moment,' as it features one of the Royal Canadian Mint's own, recent innovations; Mintshield (TM) is a ground-breaking defense against white spotting, which made it's début on the 2018 SML, to staggering acclaim.
