1 oz. Canadian Silver Maple Leaf
Bullion Coin



Obverse

The 2023 Silver Maple Leaf is the last year of Queen Elizabeth II's effigy on the obverse side.

To commemorate the Queen's reign, the Royal Canadian Mint included the double date of her reign, 1952 ∙∙∙∙ 2022.

The four pearls between the dates symbolize the four effigies of the Queen that have graced Canadian coins since her coronation in 1952.

Note: Only three different effigies of Queen Elizabeth II graced the obverse side of the Silver Maple Leaf bullion coin, as seen here.

2023 Canadian Maple Leaf OBV with Queen's Reign Dates

The obverse side of the Canadian Silver bullion coin displays the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Susanna Blunt.

Inscriptions:

  • ELIZABETH II
  • 5 DOLLARS  (face value)
  • Year of Issue
  • 1952
     ∙∙∙∙
    2022 (description above coin photo)
  • SB - Susanna Blunt's initials on the Queen's shoulder.

The Royal Canadian Mint added radial lines to make it harder for counterfeiters to reproduce the coins; these lines are on both sides of all the Canadian Maple Leaf bullion coins.

Micro-Engraved Maple Leaf
Security Mark

In 2013, the Royal Canadian Mint added a security feature to the 1oz. Canadian Gold Maple Leaf bullion coin's reverse side.

The Micro-Engraved Maple Leaf security mark was designed and produced by the Royal Canadian Mint laser technology. 

Inside the laser-engraved maple leaf is a "numeral" indicating the coin's "Year of Issue," which is more easily visible under magnification.

In 2014, the RCM added this feature to the reverse side of the 1oz Silver Maple Leaf bullion coin.

Bullion DNA
Anti-Counterfeiting Technology

Inside each Micro-Engraved Maple Leaf on every Canadian Maple Leaf bullion coin is a unique imprinted security mark.

No two security marks are the same; the Royal Canadian Mint (RCM) has given each bullion coin its own DNA code, which can only be cross-referenced with the RCM for authentication.

MINT SHIELD

Royal Canadian Mint - MINTSHIELD - LOGO

MINTSHIELD™, by the Royal Canadian Mint, is the world's first and only proven solution for reducing white spots or 'milk spots' on silver bullion coins.

Since 2018, every Silver Maple Leaf bullion coin has had the  MINTSHIELD™ applied to it.

The video below offers a quick overview of all the security features of each Silver and Gold Maple Leaf Bullion Coin.
