Canada Maple Leaf
The Canadian Silver Maple Leaf is a silver bullion coin that is issued annually by the Government of Canada. It is produced by the Royal Canadian Mint. It is legal tender and has a face value of 5 Canadian dollars. The market value of the metal varies, depending on the spot price of silver. The 99.99% silver content makes the coin among the finest official bullion coins worldwide. The standard version has a weight of 1 troy ounce (31.10 grams).
The Silver Maple Leaf's obverse and reverse display, respectively, the profile of Elizabeth II and the Canadian Maple Leaf. In 2014, new security features were introduced: radial lines and a micro-engraved laser mark. It is issued annually by the Government of Canada and was introduced in 1988. Throughout the series there have been three variations of the obverse and several special editions.
The Silver Maple Leaf's obverse displays the profile of Elizabeth II. Three versions of the Queen's profile have been used throughout the series. The portrait by Arnold Machin was used from 1988 to 1989. From 1990 to 2003 the RCM used a portrait by Dora de Pédery-Hunt. Since 2004, a portrait by Susanna Blunt has graced the obverse.
The Silver Maple Leaf's reverse displays the Canadian Maple Leaf. This design has remained unchanged since 1988. In 2014, however, new security features were introduced: radial lines and a micro-engraved laser mark. Also the obverse was affected by this. The phrases CANADA and FINE SILVER 1 OZ ARGENT PUR are universal elements.
Samples of the Silver Maple Leaf can have a blemish that has a milky-white appearance, called a milk spot. This happens when a cleaning detergent is left on the coin when it goes into the annealing furnace. Maple Leafs were originally packaged in Mylar. Since 2009, due to increasing demand, it is packaged in semi-transparent tubes with a yellow lid bearing the RCM logo. Some special editions have tubes with an orange, red, blue, dark blue or grey lid. Each tube contains 25 coins and it is sold in boxes which contain 20 tubes each.
