2023 Canadian Fine Silver 5-Coin Fractional Set - 35th Anniversary of the Silver Maple Leaf

2023 Canadian Fine Silver 5-Coin Fractional Set - 35th Anniversary of the Silver Maple Leaf

In 2023, Canada’s Silver Maple Leaf (SML) bullion coin turns 35 and we’re marking the occasion in this instalment of our annual 99.99% pure silver fractional set. All five double-dated (“1988 2023”) coins in this fractional set feature a classically styled red maple (Acer rubrum) leaf, a dazzling Canadian maple that gets its name from the spring colour of its flowers and leaf buds. That “blush” of colour inspired our application of rose gold plating to the 1 oz. coin, where the raised rim consists of an engraved pattern of 35 tiny maple leaves that artfully elevates our SML anniversary celebration to new heights.

A plated and engraved maple leaf rim—an RCM first. Order your 2023 pure silver fractional set today.

Features

RCM first: plated and engraved rim. For the first time, a selectively plated rim with 35 engraved maple leaves frames the art on the largest coin in this fractional set, which celebrates the 35th anniversary of Canada’s Silver Maple Leaf bullion coin.
Raised rim. While a typical rim is raised, it rarely features any details other than denticles—but that’s not the case with this set’s 1 oz. coin. The repeating pattern of engraved maple leaves adds a captivating textural element and reflects our pride in minting one of the world’s most sought-after bullion coins.
Precious portraits. All five coins in this fractional set—1 oz., ½ oz., ¼ oz., 1/10 oz. and 1/20 oz.—are crafted in 99.99% pure silver. Each reverse features the same classical-styled portrait of a leaf from a Canadian maple species that is known for its spring and fall colours, which inspired our application of rose gold plating to the 1 oz. coin.
Includes serialized certificate. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
NO GST/HST (if applicable)

Design

On the 1 oz. coin, rose gold plating highlights the engraved rim, which consists of a repeating pattern of Acer rubrum leaves. Each reverse includes the words “CANADA”, the coin’s purity and weight, and the year “2023”. Each obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
