Silver Maple Leaf
The Maple Leaf is the national symbol of Canada. The Maple Leaf coins are minted by the Royal Canadian Mint from Canada and are struck in 99.99% fine silver. The Maple Leaf is one of the best-known silver investment coins worldwide, which makes this currency very tradable. The new Maple Leaf coins also include a security emblem, which makes it easy to trade these silver coins among private individuals.
Silver Maple Leaf as investment coin
The silver Maple Leaf coin has been minted by the Royal Canadian Mint since 1988.
The 1 troy ounce (31.101 grams) silver Maple Leaf is the most famous 1 troy ounce silver investment coin in the world. The design shows Canada's famous maple leaf. Since 2014, the 1 troy ounce silver coin has radial lines and vintage laser engravings as its authenticity feature. This authentication feature consists of a small maple leaf with the year in which the coin was minted. Other parties that might want to counterfeit this silver coin do not have this laser technology. This way, the authenticity of the silver Maple Leaf coin is guaranteed.
Design silver Maple Leaf coin
The silver Maple Leaf coin has the same design every year, this is one of the characteristics of investment coins. When the design changes every year, people often talk about collectible coins.The silver Maple Leaf coins always have the Canadian maple leaf depicted on the face of the coin. Above this leaf is Canada, the country where the coin was minted. To the left and right of the leaf is indicated what percentage of pure silver the coin consists of. Under the maple leaf is the text "Fine silver 1 oz argent silver" this means that the coin consists of 99.99% pure silver.
The reverse of the coin features an image of Queen Elizabeth II. The silver Maple Leaf coin is legal tender in Canada and has a face value of CAN$5. Because the face value is lower than the silver value, this coin is considered an investment currency and not for payment. The face value is therefore purely symbolic and this is mandatory when minting silver coins, because otherwise it is not an official currency and then these types of coins cannot be traded under the current VAT rules.
The silver Maple Leaf coin has a beautiful design and is minted in very good quality. It is a shiny silver coin that appeals to the imagination.
