GOLD PLATING
While Walter Ott’s iconic maple leaf design is as intricate as ever, the selective application of (yellow) gold plating on the reverse highlights the ornate flourishes that celebrate the SML’s anniversary in 2023. The obverse also features selective gold plating.
FEATURES A MATTE PROOF FINISH
The field’s satin shine creates a pleasing contrast that ensures the focus is on the brilliant relief.
DID YOU KNOW?
Designed by former RCM Master Engraver Walter Ott, the SML’s namesake leaf remains one of the most famous Canadian coin designs. Its sugar maple (Acer saccharum) leaf is a recognizable symbol of supreme craftsmanship and purity: all SML coins are minted in one troy ounce of .9999 fine silver, making it one of the world’s purest silver bullion coins.
Enhanced with selective gold plating, your coin’s reverse features Walter Ott’s now-iconic maple leaf design that has graced every Silver Maple Leaf (SML) bullion coin since 1988. The SML design is flanked by intertwined vines and maple leaves designed by artist Tony Bianco, who also created the banner marking the 35TH anniversary of the SML in 2023. The selectively gold-plated obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. The obverse also bears a special marking that includes four pearls symbolizing the four effigies that have graced Canadian coins and the double date of her reign.
