Your coin’s reverse features Walter Ott’s iconic design for the Silver Maple Leaf (SML) coin, a collector favourite since 1988.

The reverse includes the engraved words “CANADA” and “FINE SILVER 1 OZ ARGENT PUR”, and the purity standard of “9999″. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. This is the first ultra-high relief (UHR) Silver Maple Leaf (SML) coin issued by the Royal Canadian Mint. Crafted in 1 oz. Of 99.99% pure silver, this captivating collectible offers a more dimensional view of the SML’s namesake leaf than ever before.
