General Description | "My coin design expresses the hope that, one day, the offering of the maple leaf will be as symbolic as the offering of an olive branch," Choi said. "Since Canada is known world-wide for its desire to promote peace, cooperation and diversity, I was moved to combine the maple leaf and the dove as my way to show what I admire most about my country." |

Rev. Description | Designed by Amy Choi and celebrating the theme Our Character, the reverse of the upcoming 10-cent coin shows an airborne maple leaf that forms the wings and tail of a dove. Choi was able to illustrate what she felt Canada achieved in its first 150 years through a work entitled Wings of Peace. |
