2023 - 35th Anniversary of the Silver Maple Leaf - 5-Coin Pure Silver Proof Fractional Set

In 2023, Canada’s Silver Maple Leaf (SML) bullion coin turns 35 and we’re marking the occasion in this instalment of our annual 99.99% pure silver fractional set. All five double-dated (“1988 2023”) coins in this fractional set feature a classically styled red maple (Acer rubrum) leaf, a dazzling Canadian maple that gets its name from the spring colour of its flowers and leaf buds. That “blush” of colour inspired our application of rose gold plating to the 1 oz. coin, where the raised rim consists of an engraved pattern of 35 tiny maple leaves that artfully elevates our SML anniversary celebration to new heights.

A plated and engraved maple leaf rim—an RCM first. Buy your 2023 pure silver fractional set today.

Special features

• RCM first: plated and engraved rim. For the first time, a selectively plated rim with 35 engraved maple leaves frames the art on the largest coin in this fractional set, which celebrates the 35^th anniversary of Canada’s Silver Maple Leaf bullion coin.
• Raised rim. While a typical rim is raised, it rarely features any details other than denticles—but that’s not the case with this set’s 1 oz. coin. The repeating pattern of engraved maple leaves adds a captivating textural element and reflects our pride in minting one of the world’s most sought-after bullion coins.
• Precious portraits. All five coins in this fractional set—1 oz., ½ oz., ¼ oz., 1/10 oz. and 1/20 oz.—are crafted in 99.99% pure silver. Each reverse features the same classical-styled portrait of a leaf from a Canadian maple species that is known for its spring and fall colours, which inspired our application of rose gold plating to the 1 oz. coin.
• Includes serialized certificate. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
• NO GST/HST

Packaging

Your five coins are individually encapsulated and presented together in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell case with a beauty box.
