Canadian Silver Maple Leafs at BullionMax
The Canadian Silver Maple Leaf holds a distinguished status in the world of silver coins, second only to the American Silver Eagle. Renowned for its superior silver content and exquisite design, many regard it as the pinnacle of silver coinage. Released annually by the Canadian Government, this coin is universally recognized for its intrinsic value.
Design
The obverse of the Maple Leaf features various portraits of reigning British monarchs. Over the years, these portraits have evolved, reflecting the length of the monarch’s reign and changes in monarchs. Notable designs include:
- Arnold Machin’s second-generation effigy of Elizabeth II (through 1989).
- Dora de Pedery-Hunt’s third-generation portrait of Elizabeth II (1990-2002/03).
- Susanna Blunt’s fourth-generation bust of Elizabeth II (2003/04-2023).
- Steven Rosati’s portrait of King Charles III, marking a historic shift in Canadian numismatic history (2024-present).
On the reverse side, the iconic Maple Leaf takes center stage, meticulously crafted to showcase its intricate beauty. This attention to detail sets the Silver Maple Leaf apart from other coins, making it a prized possession for collectors and investors alike.
