Since 2015, The Royal Canadian Mint introduced MINTSHIELD™ as the world's first and only proven solution for reducing white spots on silver bullion coins — a proprietary advancement developed by the innovative minds at the Royal Canadian Mint and applied to every Silver Maple Leaf bullion coin dated 2015 or later.
Security enhancements to the 2023 1 oz Silver Maple Leaf include precision radial lines which have been machined within microns to create a light diffractive pattern that is unique in appearance to this silver bullion coin. Since 2013, the Royal Canadian Mint (RCM) has micro engraved Silver maple leaf Coins with laser technology applying a textured maple leaf on the reverse side of the silver coin. For instance, under magnification, the number “23” is visible to denote the year (2023) of issue.
The central feature of the Canadian Silver Maple Leaf Coin’s design is the universally recognized symbol of Canada, the maple leaf, which appears on the reverse side along with the coin’s silver purity and weight. Since its first mintage by the Royal Canadian Mint in 1988, the iconic Silver Canadian Maple Leaf Coin has become one of the world’s most popular silver bullion coins. It has the highest face value of all comparable silver bullion coins ($5 CAD) and was the first silver coin ever to achieve a purity level of .9999 fineness.
And this year, the obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt, which 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.
