– but available here! High quality coin — fresh from mint. This year marks the 35th anniversary of the silver maple leaf coin in Canada. The coin is dated on the obverse. The obverse has the Susanna Blunt effigy. Although it has the 2023 date on the obverse, the coin is ALSO double dated on the obverse with the special “Transition obverse”. For the year 2023 there is not just an obverse Queen effigy with the 2023 date on it. Additionally, the four pearls (dots) in the date symbolize her 70 reign and the 4 different effigies used on our coins in that time. The coin weighs 31.6 grams and has a diameter of 36.15 mm. It is minted in pure silver and with ultra high relief and in reverse proof finish. There is selective gold plating on both the reverse and obverse as well as the rim. It comes in a leather clamshell case surrounded by a black cardboard box. Mintage is limited to 8,000 and also included is a uniquely numbered certificate of authenticity. 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. New for 2023, yellow gold plating highlights the rim on both sides of the coin, the effigy on the obverse, and the UHR maple leaf on the reverse. This creates a stunning colour contrast-it’s even more beautiful in person! Thanks to the coin’s reverse proof finish, the golden UHR maple leaf truly shimmers and pops against the frosted field. The coin’s reverse features Walter Ott’s Silver Maple Leaf (SML) design, which celebrates its 35. Struck in Ultra High Relief, the iconic maple leaf is plated with yellow gold and surrounded by the words “CANADA”, “FINE SILVER 1 OZ ARGENT PUR” and the purity standard of “9999”. The rim is also plated with yellow gold on both sides, while the obverse features the gold-plated effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. The obverse also bears a special marking that includes four pearls symbolizing the four effigies that have graced Canadian coins and the double date of her reign.
