Actually no. If the leaf is raised on the die, that means it would be incuse on the hub just like on the struck coin.

For Canadian coins, the working die is the die that strikes the coins. The master punch (raised) is hubbed to make the master die (incuse), the master die is then hubbed to make the working punch (raised) and lastly, the working punch is then hubbed to create the working dies that go on to strike Canadian coins.
So if the maple leaf was incuse on the working punch it would create a raised leaf on the working die that would strike coins with an incuse maple leaf. Hopefully, I didn't lose anyone there but the die making process for Canada and the US is a bit different from everything I have read, at least name wise.
