Description

Celebrate a milestone in modern numismatics with the 2013 1 oz Fine Silver Coin – 25th Anniversary of the Silver Maple Leaf from the Royal Canadian Mint. Struck from 1 troy ounce of 99.99% pure silver, this stunning commemorative issue honors 25 years of the world-renowned Silver Maple Leaf bullion coin—first introduced in 1988 and instantly recognized for its unmatched purity, beauty, and prestige. Enhanced with selective gold plating and a refined proof finish, this anniversary edition elevates a Canadian icon to a new level of collectible artistry.

The reverse features a creative “Shadowleaf” interpretation by Canadian artist Jean-Louis Sirois, showcasing a beautifully embossed maple leaf set within a gold-plated recessed form, with a dramatic shadow motif and a stylized “25 years/anniversary” anniversary mark. The obverse proudly displays the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II as seen on the original 1988 issue—creating a powerful link between the beginning of the series and this important anniversary release. With a limited mintage of just 10,000 worldwide, this coin is a premium collectible for both Silver Maple Leaf enthusiasts and serious silver investors.

Perfectly suited for display or long-term holding, each coin is encapsulated and presented in an official Royal Canadian Mint maroon clamshell case with a protective beauty box and serialized Certificate of Authenticity.
