Silver Maple Leaf: pure craftsmanship from Canada
Since 1988, the Silver Maple Leaf has been issued as Canada's official bullion coin. Each coin features the distinctive maple leaf on the obverse, and since 2014, a micro-engraved date has been added as a security feature. Since 2018, all coins have also been equipped with MintShieldâ„¢, a surface treatment that prevents discoloration, or milk spots.Â
The current silver price directly determines the value of these silver coins. Therefore, prices move in line with the international market, making the Maple Leaf attractive to investors who capitalize on price trends.
