First minted in 1988, the Canadian Silver Maple Leaf coin is a fine addition to any coin collection. The Canadian Silver Maple is guaranteed to be .9999 pure, the highest purity level currently offered on any coin struck by a government owned mint. This coin's face value is five Canadian dollars. It is the largest face value of an international silver bullion coin. The reverse of the Canadian Silver Maple features a single maple leaf while the obverse depicts Queen Elizabeth II. |

The coin is beautiful in its own right, and the high purity and impressive quality make it a favorite of collectors. The Royal Canadian Mint holds high standards, and maintains a commitment to produce coins of the finest quality. Containing one troy ounce of silver, this coin is worth more than its face value to many collectors. There are some variations to this coin. Each variation will carry a slightly different value to the collector, depending on the rarity, price and demand for it. • 1998 – A ten ounce coin was produced in honor of the coin’s tenth anniversary. • 1999 – Silvery Maple Leaf coins were issued with a privy mark honoring the RCM Maple Leaf Program’s twentieth anniversary. • 2000 – A Privy Mark with Fireworks and the number 2000 was issued • 1999 and 2000 – Coins commemorating the Millennium were issued with the dual dates of 1999 and 2000. • Coins issued in 1996 and 1997 had limited mintages and have historically sold at a premium. Like Silver Eagles in the USA, Panda coins in China, Philharmonic coins in Austria, and Britannias in Great Britain, Canadian Silver Maple Leafs are official legal tender of Canada. They are also silver bullion, and are easily sold or traded in any part of the world. They are available in gem brilliant uncirculated condition, with no wearing of the edges or designs. They are highly desired by collectors for their fantastic quality, their value as silver, and the low mintages that help keep them valuable. |
