1 oz Silver Maple Leaf Design

The astonishing design of the Maple Leaf series has attracted precious metal investors and coin collectors ever since their first issue in 1988. The coin’s reverse is an industry classic and has remained unchanged since its introduction - with the exception of unique security features that started in 2014 and quickly became a staple in anti-counterfeit measures.

Susanna Blunt’s effigy of Queen Elizabeth II is featured on the obverse of the 2022 Silver Maple Leaf. The series has featured three different renditions of Her Majesty over the years of her rule. The current profile portrait of Her Majesty was designed in 2003 by Blunt, who is only the second-ever Canadian artist to devise a monarch’s profile for Canadian coinage. Arching along the top is the inscription “ELIZABETH II”, and on the bottom “5 DOLLARS 2022”.

Displayed in the reverse of the silver coin is the iconic design of a sugar maple leaf. It was first introduced in 1979, with the release of the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf series. The cherished image was envisioned by Master Engraver Walter Ott, and is still in use to this day in all Maple Leaf bullion coins. Surrounding the image, on the top, the inscribed letters read “CANADA”, while “9999” and “FINE SILVER 1 OZ ARGENT PUR” read from left to right, on the lower half.

Anti-Counterfeit Security

The Royal Canadian Mint helped set the industry-best for anti-counterfeiting measures in bullion coins. In the background of both verses of the 2022 Silver Maple Leaf is the radial lines finish. These lines have been precisely engraved to a certain width and length, creating a pattern that diffracts light in a unique way.

The reverse of the silver coin also houses a smaller micro-engraved maple leaf, which sits to the right of the main leaf’s stem. Featured in this privy mark is the number 22 - representing the year of its mintage - along with the Royal Canadian Mint’s Bullion DNA technology (Digital Non-destructive Activation). This textured security mark has images taken of it before the coin leaves the mint, meaning it is registered. The images are then encrypted and stored in the RCM’s secure database. The coin’s mark can only be read through a specialized scanner which confirms that they are indeed real.

Coin Mintage
