Description

The 1 oz Canadian Silver Maple Leaf is one of the world’s premier silver bullion coins, first introduced in 1988 by the Royal Canadian Mint. Struck in .9999 fine silver (99.99% purity), it set the standard for government‑backed silver bullion and remains a top choice for both investors and collectors.

Design & Security Features:

  • Obverse: Profile of Queen Elizabeth II (updated to King Charles III effigy from 2024 onward).

  • Reverse: Stylized sugar maple leaf, Canada’s national symbol—engraved with radial lines for light diffraction.

  • Micro‑engraved security mark: A small maple leaf privy mark containing the last two digits of the coin’s year of issue, visible under magnification.

Specifications:

  • Weight: 1 troy ounce (31.1035 g)

  • Purity: .9999 fine silver (24 karat)

  • Diameter: 38 mm

  • Thickness: 3.29 mm

  • Face Value: $5 CAD (legal tender)

  • Edge: Serrated (reeded)

  • Finish: Brilliant uncirculated

  • Packaging: Typically loose in mint tubes or individually in protective flips; available in monster boxes of 500 coins

Investment & Collecting Appeal:

  • Liquidity: Universally recognized and traded, with exceptionally low premiums over spot.

  • Security: Advanced anti‑counterfeit measures (radial lines, micro‑engraving) make it more secure than many other bullion products.

  • Versatility: Ideal for stacking, portfolio hedging, and gift giving; also popular with numismatists for its annual mint‑mark variations.

Backed by the Government of Canada’s guarantee of weight and purity, the Silver Maple Leaf combines high purity, striking artistry, and state‑of‑the‑art security, making it a cornerstone of any precious‑metals portfolio.
