DESCRIPTION
Canada’s Silver Maple Leaf (SML) made a grand entrance in 1988, when it set a new industry standard as the world’s first 99.99% pure silver bullion coin. Now, 35 years later the SML continues to be one of the world’s most secure and sought-after silver bullion investment coins. Its namesake leaf is the undisputed star of this exclusive five-kilogram collector’s item – the largest of the Royal Canadian Mint’s 2023 SML commemorative pieces. The coin’s reverse elegantly celebrates the SML by surrounding it with ornate motifs representing the natural world, which provided the inspiration for Walter Ott’s iconic, and much-admired, design.
One of the most famous Canadian coin designs of all time, Walter Ott’s iconic maple leaf design is as intricate as ever on this 5 kg coin’s reverse, which offers a much larger view than the annual 1 oz. SML.
