2022 $5 Moments to Hold: Your Canadian Story Fine Silver (No Tax)
We see the maple leaf wherever we go, it’s the most famous emblem of our nation. But this symbol doesn’t just represent the history of Canada—it also represents you and your unique Canadian experience. The maple leaf, and even Canada itself, can mean something different to every Canadian: it can evoke a sense of belonging, of achievements both personal and shared; it can symbolize diversity, and the values that inspire us to create a brighter future for all.
So, what does this maple leaf mean to you? The Royal Canadian Mint's second 2022 Moments to Hold coin takes a different approach to storytelling and commemoration. Its design invites you to be the storyteller, to reflect on what Canada means to you, and to share the memories that are associated with the maple leaf, for they are your moments to hold.
We think of the maple leaf as a popular Canadian symbol, but no single species represents us—instead, 10 different Canadian maple species form our official emblem. That is a powerful representation of diversity in Canada, where 21.9% of the population (or 1 out of 5 Canadians) is foreign-born and more than 215 languages—including 70+ Indigenous languages—are spoken.
Designed by Canadian artist Celia Godkin, your coin’s reverse features a classically styled maple leaf. The image is synonymous with Canada, but on this coin, it represents the individual experiences and stories of every Canadian. The reverse includes the word “CANADA” and the year “2022”. The obverse indicates a face value of “5 DOLLARS” and features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
