Description

Since its introduction in 1988, the iconic 1oz Silver Maple Leaf has been a highly sought-after Royal Canadian Mint bullion investment coin. The Silver Maple Leaf has a face value of $5, the highest face value on the market for any comparable silver bullion coin. Beginning in 2014, replacing the bullion finish on earlier coins, the radial lines in the coin’s field have been precisely machined to within microns on the master tooling to ensure reproducibility from die to die and coin to coin. The uniqueness of the line width and pitch gives this coin a characteristic look and creates a light diffracting pattern that is specific to this coin. Combined with a new visual security feature – a textured maple leaf micro engraved with laser technology on a small area of the reverse side, with a numeral denoting the coin’s year of issue – this coin represents the cutting edge in coin security.
