Canadian Silver Maple Leaf Coins

Canadian Silver Maple Leaf Coins are one of the world's most recognized silver bullion coins. After the success of the Canadian gold maple leaf coin, the Royal Canadian Mint began producing the silver maple leaf in 1988.

Silver Maple Leaf coins offer several advantages over other silver coins. The coin is 'official legal tender', and its content, weight and purity are guaranteed by the Canadian Government. The coin has a face value of $5 Canadian, the highest face value of any comparable silver bullion coin from a major producing country. It is minted with one troy ounce of fine silver. Its 99.99% purity is the purest silver coin in regular mintage. They make unique and affordable gifts, and are a convenient way to collect silver bullion.

The front face displays the maple leaf, a widely recognizable Canadian symbol. The reverse side features Queen Elizabeth II with a finish¾ reverse proof. It was the first silver coin to display the new image of the Queen.
