Recognized as the world’s first modern silver bullion coin, the Canadian Silver Maple Leaf series has been a cornerstone for both investors and collectors since its introduction in 1988. Struck by the Royal Canadian Mint, the Silver Maple Leaf is renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship, purity, and global credibility, making it one of the most trusted silver coins in the precious metals market.
 
While the overall design of the Silver Maple Leaf remains timeless and instantly recognizable, each annual Brilliant Uncirculated release continues to draw attention for its precision and quality. The 2016 Silver Maple Leaf is struck from .9999 fine silver and incorporates advanced security features designed to combat counterfeiting. Most notably, a micro-engraved maple leaf privy mark appears on the reverse, containing the number “16” at its center to denote the year of issue.
 
Another innovative enhancement introduced in 2016 is the use of radial lines on both the obverse and reverse fields. These finely machined lines create a unique light-diffraction effect, enhance visual depth, and add an additional layer of security, while also helping minimize the appearance of fingerprints.
 
Combining classic national symbolism with cutting-edge minting technology, the 2016 Silver Maple Leaf is a standout addition to any silver portfolio or numismatic collection.
