The intricate design highlights the leaf’s veins, with micro-engraving incorporated as one of the coin’s advanced security features.

Both sides of the coin feature two distinct security measures in the form of radial lines in the background of each design and Bullion DNA™ Anti‑Counterfeiting Technology.
