Canadian Silver Maple Leaf

There have been three subsequent versions of the Queen's profile: Canadian coins released to the public starting in 2024 now bear a new obverse of her successor King Charles III.

Granted a face value of 5 Canadian dollars, the Silver Maple Leaf has status as legal tender.

With few exceptions and alike similar international bullion coins, the Silver Maple Leaf has a weight of 1 troy ounce (31.1 grams).

Samples of the Silver Maple Leaf often carry a blemish that has a milky-white appearance, called a milk spot.

This issue was addressed in 2018 with the RCM introduction of "MINTSHIELD" surface protection technology to prevent milk spots.

Since 2009, due to increasing demand, it is packaged in semi-transparent tubes with a yellow lid bearing the RCM logo.

The issue from the year 2000 was sold as an uncirculated bulk coin yet bears the Fireworks privy mark on it.

It is re-listed in the special privy mark section below but is still essentially part of the standard bullion series.
