2026 5 oz PCGS Gem BU "Trial Strike" Canadian Silver Grand Maple Leaf Coin

The Royal Canadian Mint (RCM) expands its numismatic prestige with the 2026 5 oz Silver Grand Maple Leaf Coin, presented here in an exceptionally rare “Trial Strike” edition — certified by PCGS as Gem Brilliant Uncirculated (BU). This unique pre-production sample showcases the Mint’s design and technical excellence before final approval, making it a coveted collectible for serious numismatists.

Struck from five troy ounces of .9999 fine silver, the 2026 Grand Maple Leaf continues Canada’s proud bullion tradition, featuring Walter Ott’s iconic Sugar Maple Leaf design and King Charles III’s official effigy on the obverse. The coin embodies both the artistry and innovation synonymous with the Royal Canadian Mint.

Today, collectors can acquire the 2026 5 oz PCGS Gem BU “Trial Strike” Canadian Silver Grand Maple Leaf Coin at SD Bullion — an exclusive opportunity to own a prototype-grade example of one of the RCM’s most impressive large-format silver coins.

Coin Highlights

  • Certified Gem Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) by PCGS.
  • Rare “Trial Strike” issue — struck prior to final production approval.
  • Contains 5 troy ounces of .9999 fine silver.
  • Produced by the Royal Canadian Mint.
  • Features advanced RCM security features, including radial lines and micro-engraved privy.
  • Obverse: Effigy of King Charles III, designed by Steven Rosati.
  • Reverse: Walter Ott’s classic Sugar Maple Leaf design.
  • Legal tender status with a face value of 25 Canadian Dollars (CAD).
  • Limited population certified by PCGS — extremely scarce in the marketplace.

The Design

The reverse features the timeless Maple Leaf motif, one of the most recognized national symbols of Canada. The intricate details of the leaf veins are sharply struck, enhanced by the radial line background — both aesthetic and anti-counterfeiting in purpose. Inscriptions read: “CANADA,” “FINE SILVER 5 OZ ARGENT PUR,” and “9999.”

The obverse showcases the official effigy of King Charles III, marking one of the earliest large-format silver issues to bear His Majesty’s portrait. Surrounding inscriptions denote “CHARLES III,” “D.G. REX,” “25 DOLLARS,” and the year of issue, “2026.”

The coin’s Gem BU finish presents brilliant luster and sharp surface detail, preserving the trial strike’s distinctive minting characteristics that set it apart from mass-production issues.

PCGS Gem BU “Trial Strike”

The Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) designates “Trial Strike” pieces as special pre-production samples that were struck for testing dies, reliefs, or finishes before full-scale minting.
