Security & Mint Technology
The maple leaf has been a national symbol of Canada since the 18th century, and the 2018 1 oz Silver Maple Leaf incorporates some of the most advanced security features in modern bullion production. Each coin is struck by the Royal Canadian Mint and includes its proprietary Bullion DNA™ authentication technology.
Bullion DNA™ utilizes a laser-engraved maple leaf privy mark, visible only under magnification. Embedded within this micro-engraving are two digits identifying the coin’s year of production. Each security mark is uniquely encoded, scanned, and recorded in the Mint’s secure database, allowing for precise future authentication.
 
Coins dated 2018 and later also feature MintShield™ surface protection—currently the only proven technology designed to significantly reduce the occurrence of white spots, commonly known as milk spots, on silver bullion coins.
 
Together, these technologies make the Silver Maple Leaf one of the most secure and technologically advanced silver bullion coins available worldwide.
