Canada has had a long relationship with the maple leaf, since the beginning of the 18th century. It was when that the maple leaf was adopted by French Canadians who dwelled along the St. Lawrence River; it was described by the first mayor of Montreal as “the symbol of the Canadian people.” By the mid-1800s, it came to be included in the Coat of Arms of both Ontario and Quebec, and by 1921, was included in the federal Coat of Arms of Canada. In 1965, Canada’s flag was changed from the Canadian Red Ensign to the maple leaf flag we know today. Mintage is 7,500 coins
