Own This Beautiful Canadian .9999 Fine Silver Maple Leaf Coin

Money Metals Exchange offers great pricing for the gorgeous Canadian Silver Maple Leaf 1 oz coin. Our lineup of available silver coins would not be complete without this iconic coin from north of the border.

The Royal Canadian Mint began minting of the Silver Maple Leaf coin in 1988, nine years after first issuing the coin in the more popular gold form. The silver maple contains 1 troy oz of .9999 fine silver and carries a face value of $5 Canadian. The RCM added security features to the coin in 2014, including radial lines and a micro-engraved maple leaf mint mark.

Since its introduction to the market, sales of this silver mint coin have consistently grown. The number of coins produced has grown from 1.15 million in 1988 to 34.3 million in 2015. Today it is second only to the American Silver Eagle bullion coin in popularity.

Like most bullion products, this coin saw a huge spike in demand from the 2008 financial crisis. Investors awoke to the fragility of our banking systems and the counter-party risks associated with paper assets. Many sought physical precious metals as a hedge against the devaluing dollar and traditional securities and turned to the Maple Leaf.

Combined with Money Metals Exchange's low premiums, Canadian Maple leaf coins are a wonderful value and a way to add international legal-tender silver to a portfolio. We off the best Silver prices!

Act now to join the increasing number of investors who are diversifying away from tenuous and potentially risky paper assets and into physical Silver Bullion. The Maple Leaf is a stunning sovereign coin guaranteed for its weight and purity by the Canadian government and it is a beautiful piece of Canadian history! And you can get them for a considerably lower premium than the silver American Eagle. Questions on the price of silver? Check out our podcast!

About the Silver Maple Leaf Design

Elizabeth II (Obverse)

The obverse of the Silver Maple Leaf contains the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. There are three different versions, depicting the queen at different stages as she has moved through her monarchy - progressing from youth to old age. The year of issue and the face value of five dollars are also displayed on this front side.

Silver Maple Leaf (Reverse)

The national emblem, the sugar maple leaf, adorns the Canadian coin's reverse. The design is extremely detailed throughout, including the texture and veins of the leaf itself (from the acer, or maple, Canada's National Tree). The numbers 9999 can be seen on its reverse side, along with the words ‘Argent Pur’ which means pure silver in French, Canada’s second language.

The coins are well struck. Quality is a hallmark of the Royal Canadian Mint.

Silver Maple Leaf Coin Specifications

One of the reasons the coin is so popular is its purity of "Four Nines" (.9999) fine silver. The standard in silver bullion is .999 fine. The Royal Canadian Mint has aimed beyond the industry standard.

The silver Maple Leaf is issued annually by the government of Canada and its Royal Canadian Mint. The coin has been produced in several special edition versions, graded “proof” versions, and commemoratives. Money Metals Exchange primarily sells the bullion original as this version is the most suitable for bullion investors because it offers the lowest premium.

The Maple's legal tender value of 5 Canadian dollars also distinguishes it from its peers. Five dollars face value is much higher than the pure silver American Eagle, for example with carries a $1 US denomination. Of course, the coin's melt value is far higher still and its actual value is based on its silver content. But it does provide some assurance to investors because its value can never be less than what has been stamped upon it.

In keeping with other Canadian coins in circulation since 1908, the Canadian Silver Maple Leaf contains an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II on its obverse. On the reverse side, Canada’s national symbol, the Candian Maple Leaf can be seen, representing Canada’s identity (as it has since the early 18th century). The two images reflect Canada’s history and the coins have become a symbol of national pride.

Also, small privy marks adorn the lower half of Silver Canadian Maple Leaf coins, which is a special security feature used in the minting process.

Full mint tubes contain 25 coins, with a full mint box containing 20 tubes (500 coins). Maple "mint sealed" boxes are yellow in color.

Why Invest in Silver Maple Leaf Coins?

Silver coins are increasingly popular amongst investors looking for a hedge against inflation and geopolitical uncertainty. Silver has always been considered honest money and sovereign coins such as silver Canadian Maple Leaf coins offer trust and recognizability. Investors know that if they need to sell, these coins will command higher prices and there will be plenty of demand.

Silver is also an extraordinarily useful metal, with growing industrial demand to help support its price. New applications include solar power, technology, and healthcare.
