The maple leaf has been Canada’s national symbol since the 19th century. The Royal Canadian Mint released the first maple leaf in 1988, quickly becoming one of the most popular and recognized coins in the world.
The 2024 Canadian maple leaf is struck in 1 troy ounce of .9999 fine silver. The obverse bears the first official portrait of King Charles III . The reverse features the iconic sugar maple leaf image, as well as weight, purity, and content.
Canadian Maple Leafs are among the most secure coins in the world. They feature precision radial lines, a laser-engraved privy mark, and the RCM’s “bullion DNA technology.”
All silver Canadian Maple Leafs dated 2015 and later feature a unique anti counterfeiting security mark embedded with the Royal Canadian Mint’s “Bullion DNA” technology.
