DESIGN
The reverse of this 99.99% pure silver coin stands as a numismatic tribute to the Royal Canadian Mint’s iconic Silver Maple Leaf (SML) bullion coin. Unchanged since its silver debut in 1988, the single maple leaf design is engraved in outstanding detail to give it a life-like quality, and includes such textural details as the deeply etched veins that run through each of the leaf’s lobes. There’s an unmistakable shine to the reverse, thanks to the light-diffracting wave pattern that fills the entirety of the field. Micro-engraved with laser technology, the recurring number “150” and the maple leaf add a commemorative element that celebrates the 150th anniversary of Confederation, while echoing the cutting-edge security features found on the bullion coin.
