The Royal Canadian Mint released its first Silver Maple Leaf bullion coin in 1988. As with the Gold Maple Leaf bullion coin, released 10 years earlier, the Silver Maple Leaf became one of the world’s most innovative and sought-after bullion coins.
The classic Walter Ott-designed maple leaf on the reverse of this Silver Maple Leaf bullion coin gets a unique look thanks to incuse striking that sinks the image into the field. But an extra-special element makes the coin a Royal Canadian Mint first: the obverse image of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is incuse struck as well! This beautiful treatment gives pride of place to both Canada’s beloved maple leaf and Canada’s beloved monarch.
