Each coin is struck from one ounce of 99.99% pure silver and features an unexpected viewpoint of the colorful autumn canopy created by three towering maple leafs.

"Autumn is one of Canada’s most beautiful seasons that transform the landscape into a magnificent panorama of color," describes the Royal Canadian Mint website on the coin’s product page. "It’s a spectacle of yellow, orange and gold that lures people into the forests to experience nature’s artistry firsthand, and one of the best ways to view the canvas is to stand among the trees, looking up."

Mintage of the Autumn Allure coin is limited to 7,500. Previous Maple Canopy silver coins sold out quickly at the same level. The first coin in the series attained sell-out status in 7 days.
