Each Silver Maple has been designed with a Canadian maple leaf since its first mintage in 1988. The Canadian maple is highly recognizable by its five point leaf pattern. The Canadian maple leaf is used on the Canadian flag as well as the Silver Maple coin. Canadian Maple Leaf coins have become one of the world’s most recognizable silver investments. Canada has even made the Canadian Maple their official silver bullion coin.
The 2015 1 oz Silver Maple Leaf features a new form of security though the Royal Canadian Mint’s Bullion DNA program. The Bullion DNA program offers the highest security on the market for any bullion coin. Each bullion coin features a textured maple leaf security privy mark, micro-engraved with laser technology and is visible only under magnification. Etched within the maple leaf security mark are the two digits indicating the coin’s production year. Each micro-engraving is encoded, scanned and recorded at the mint for future authentication giving each coin their unique Bullion DNA.
