Galvanic Plated Coating

The Space Blue coating on this Canada Silver Maple Leaf BU coin greatly enhances the iconic beauty of the coin's design. The color does not conceal any aspect of the design, as the special galvanic-plating process results in a transparent color surface that allows every detail of the coin to shine through, including the underlying mirror surface. The resulting effect produces a truly unique presentation of the Canada Silver Maple Leaf! You might find it interesting to know that the same talent that produced the highly-acclaimed Germania Space Blue silver round also was enlisted for this series.

The Canada Silver Maple Leaf

Since its introduction in 1988, the iconic Silver Maple Leaf (SML) has been an extremely popular Royal Canadian Mint bullion investment coin. This 2019 Silver 1 oz Canada Maple Leaf is minted with 1 troy ounce of .9999 fine silver. With a face value of $5, it is the highest face value on the market for any comparable silver bullion coin. All Silver Maple Leaf Bullion coins produced from 2014 forward have unique features for enhanced security.

History

The Canada Silver Maple Leaf (SML) continues to be one of the most highly sought-after bullion investment coins in the world. The standard annual releases are struck in .9999 fine silver at 1 troy ounce. All Silver Maple Leaf's produced from 2014 forward have unique features for enhanced security, also increasing their global popularity.

The Silver Maple Leaf is not only held for its investment value. This beautiful bullion coin is also followed by collectors of fine bullion coins. With each annual release, collectors quickly add to their SML holdings. The coin's simple elegance proudly presents a stunning and iconic emblem of Canada, the maple leaf.

Unique Security Features

The first security feature includes a small textured maple leaf, micro-engraved with laser technology on the reverse side. It displays the last two digits of the release year.

A second visual security feature includes the radial lines in the Silver Maple Leaf's field. They have been precisely machined to within microns on the master tooling to ensure reproducibility from die to die and coin to coin. The uniqueness of the line width and pitch gives a characteristic look, creating a light-diffracting pattern specific to this coin. These features combined represent the true cutting-edge of coin security.

A third security feature is now available for both the silver and gold Maple Leaf's. Marketed by RCM as, "Bullion DNA™," this feature provides a near instantaneous authentication of individual Maple Leaf's that have the micro-engraved maple leaf privy mark. As described by the mint:

"Every die used to produce the Gold and Silver Maple Leaf coins is laser micro-engraved with an anti-counterfeiting security mark: a textured maple leaf. Our registration process ‑ digital non-destructive activation (DNA) technology ‑ captures images encrypted with a string of code, and stores these in our secure database. Using the specialised device, approved Bullion DNA™ dealers can easily verify the authenticity of registered Gold and Silver Maple Leaf bullion coins in three easy steps."
