About This Coin
The Canadian Silver Maple Leaf contains 1 troy ounce of .9999 fine silver — making it one of the purest silver coins in the world. Produced by the Royal Canadian Mint since 1988, it features advanced security including micro-engraved laser marks and radial lines that create a unique light pattern.
At .9999 purity, the Silver Maple Leaf is slightly purer than the American Silver Eagle (.999). This 0.0999% difference is negligible in melt value but matters to collectors who value purity. The coin carries a face value of 5 CAD and is legal tender in Canada.
Silver Maples typically carry lower premiums than Silver Eagles ($2-5 over spot vs $3-8), making them a more cost-efficient way to acquire government-minted silver. However, they are slightly less liquid in the US market compared to Eagles. The Royal Canadian Mint's reputation for innovation means Maples also include anti-counterfeiting technology that most other sovereign mints don't match.
Collector vs Melt Value
Bullion dates trade at $2-5 over spot. Special editions (privy marks, colored, reverse proof) carry collector premiums. The 2024 and 2025 Ultra High Relief editions are popular.
