Silver Maple Leaf Series
 
Silver Maple Leaf coins are renowned worldwide for their exceptional .9999 fine silver purity and brilliant finish. Since their debut, these coins have maintained the maple leaf as their central design element, even as select commemorative and special-issue versions have been released over time. The enduring maple leaf motif continues to symbolize Canada’s natural heritage and national pride.
 
Royal Canadian Mint Security Features
 
Since 2015, the Royal Canadian Mint’s Bullion DNA™ program has set the industry standard for bullion security. Each Silver Maple Leaf includes a laser-engraved maple leaf security privy mark, visible only under magnification, with micro-engraved digits denoting the coin’s year of production. This advanced feature allows for precise authentication using specialized verification technology.
 
MINTSHIELD™ Surface Protection, now applied to all Silver Maple Leaf bullion coins dated 2018 and later, further enhances long-term appearance by helping preserve the coin’s pristine silver finish.
