New for 2023, yellow gold plating emphasizes the Ultra High Relief on this extraordinary SML. Much has changed since 1988, when the Silver Maple Leaf (SML) was first introduced to the world. Thirty-five years later, Canada’s bullion maple leaf appears untouched by time on our coins, where its beauty has been enhanced by different finishes and technologies over the years-including Ultra High Relief, as seen on this 99.99% pure silver collectible. On the coin’s reverse, selective gold plating adds a celebratory gleam to the SML on its 35. Anniversary, and highlights the 1.4 mm peak relief height first introduced on the 2022 UHR SML. A UHR SML with gold plating to mark a 35. The follow-up to the first UHR SML. Like the first Ultra High Relief (UHR) Silver Maple Leaf (SML) issued in 2022, this 2023 collector piece is crafted in 1 oz. Of 99.99% pure silver and features Ultra High Relief on its reverse, where the SML design rises to an incredible height. The reverse features a peak relief height of 1.4 mm-higher than a typical 1 oz. SML, which celebrates its 35. The SML is one of our most popular annual offerings and it tends to sell out quickly. Mintage is limited to 8,000 worldwide. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins. 99.99% pure silver with yellow gold plating. Walter Ott (reverse), Susanna Blunt (obverse). Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a black Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.
