Now you can start or add to your collection of Maple Leaf coins by bringing home the 2023 installment of this beloved series!

Stunning Silver from the Royal Canadian Mint

Struck at the prestigious Royal Canadian Mint in a troy ounce of highly pure 99.99% fine silver, the Silver Maple Leaf earns its name from the incredibly detailed maple leaf that graces its reverse. In addition to the maple leaf, the word “CANADA” arches over the image, while the coin’s purity, “9999,” is inscribed on both sides of the leaf. An inscription along the bottom half of the rim reads, “FINE SILVER 1 OZ ARGENT PUR.” A background finish of radial line serves to thwart any would-be counterfeiters, as does a micro-engraved mint mark a small leaf, engraved with the number “23”—that provides further security. The coin’s obverse features a “transitional” portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, who died on September 8, 2022. After the Queen’s death in 2022, many coin experts expected to see King Charles III’s effigy on the obverse of the 2023 Maple Leaf coins. However, Buckingham Palace did not approve a portrait by the time the Royal Canadian Mint was ready to strike the coins. Along with the “5 DOLLARS” legal-tender denomination and 2023 year date, these coins will include dual dates of 1952 and 2022 to the left of The Queen's portrait marking the years of her reign.
