Details:
The Canadian Silver Maple Leaf is a widely recognized and highly regarded silver bullion coin produced by the Royal Canadian Mint. The Canadian Silver Maple Leaf was first introduced in 1988, two years after the success of its gold counterpart, the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf. It was created to meet the growing demand for a pure silver bullion coin in the international market.
The obverse (front) of the coin features an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, with the design changing over time to reflect her evolving age. The reverse (back) of the coin displays the iconic maple leaf, a national symbol of Canada, along with the coin’s purity and weight.
The Canadian Silver Maple Leaf is minted in one troy ounce of .9999 fine silver (99.99% pure). It has a diameter of 38 millimeters and a thickness of 3.29 millimeters. The coin has a serrated edge, and its face value is five Canadian dollars, although its intrinsic value is based on the price of silver.
