Encyclopedia > Canadian Silver Maple Leaf

The Canadian Silver Silver Maple Leaf is a series of silver bullion coins issued by Canada. It has a static design every year and comes mostly in 1 troy oz of silver. Variation for this coin includes proof (1989 only), privy marks, coloured maple leaf (has a different design than regular maple leaf) and holographic enhancement (1/4 oz, 1/2 oz, 1 oz and 2 oz). The face value of the 1 oz coin is 5 Canadian Dollar, the highest among other silver bullions. The purity of the coin is 99.99% silver, also the highest among other bullions which have a 99.90% standard. The program started in the 1988 and is still going strong today. The coin is struck by the Royal Canadian Mint. Silver coins are possibly the oldest mass form of coinage (see Denarius, for example). ...
