1oz silver maple leaf coin The 1 OZ Silver Maple Leaf Coin is one of the most widespread silver maple bullion coins in the world. First introduced in 1988, it was issued by the Royal Canadian Mint to great interest after almost a
decade of success with its gold equivalent. More than a million coins were produced upon its release and its production has been consistently high ever since, with the exception of a few years in the mid 2000’s. The 1 oz Silver Maple Leaf coin is the standard weight of the coin, although various special editions have also been produced. It has a face value of $5, weighs 31.11g and has a diameter of 37.97mm. it’s purity measures 99.99% and is therefore among the very purest maple silver coins in the world. The coin’s design has changed little over the last three decades, special editions aside. On the obverse the figurehead of the 39-year-old Queen Elizabeth II was represented by Arnold Minchin. From 1990 until 2004, this was replaced by Dora DePedery-Hunt’s depiction of the 64- year-old monarch. From 2005 until this day, Susanna Blunt’s portrait has adorned the coin maple. On the coin’s inverse, the iconic 1 OZ Silver Maple Leaf Coin has remained unchanged since the bullion coin inception.
