The reverse offers a bold, cinematic depiction of Little Red Riding Hood confronting a massive wolf in a dense, dark forest. Both figures are rendered in rich, colorized detail that captures the emotional tension of the scene—Red’s hood vivid against the subdued tones of the woods, and the wolf’s gaze locked with hers. The scene is framed with inscriptions indicating “CANADA,” the purity “9999,” and the bilingual marking “FINE SILVER 1 OZ ARGENT PUR,” alongside a subtle silhouette of the iconic Maple Leaf interwoven into the composition.
This limited-edition silver coin is a compelling fusion of cultural storytelling and fine bullion. With its high-purity silver, sharp design contrast, and narrative appeal, the 2025 Canada Maple Leaf Little Red coin makes a striking addition to any numismatic collection or investment portfolio.
