Each 2000 1 oz Fireworks Privy Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin arrives in a plastic flip for protection. The Royal Canadian Mint has often introduced special versions of the Gold Maple Leaf, and the fireworks privy is one of those unique details. This particular privy marks a moment of celebration, bringing to mind fireworks displays that accompany major cultural festivities.

The story of fireworks dates back over a thousand years to 7th-century China, where alchemists searching for an elixir created an explosive powder by combining saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal. This mixture, known today as gunpowder, eventually gave rise to fireworks displays, which became an essential part of ceremonial events and festivities, especially during the Tang Dynasty.

On the obverse of the 2000 Fireworks Privy Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin is a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This third-generation design by Dora de Pedery-Hunt shows Her Majesty in right-profile relief, wearing the George IV State Diadem Crown.

The reverse side of 2000 1 oz Gold Maple Leafs features the timeless sugar maple leaf design by Walter Ott, a symbol of Canada since its debut on Gold Maple Leaf coins in 1979. For this issue, the reverse includes a special fireworks privy mark with a series of fireworks bursting in an oval-shaped design, alongside the year 2000—a nod to the dawn of the 21st century.
