Each of the Canadian Silver Maple Leaf coins in this product listing from JM Bullion has a unique, reverse-proof finish. Coins with a reverse proof have opposite visual appeal from a standard proof. Instead of the deeply-mirrored background field and strong, matte finish on the design, the matte finish is applied to the background field and the design sets have a deeply-mirrored finish.
On the obverse side of this coin you’ll find the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Created in 2003 by Susanna Blunt, this is just the third portrait of Her Majesty to appear on Canadian Silver Maple Leaf coins since their introduction in 1988.
The reverse offers a view of the sugar maple leaf, as it has appeared on Canadian Maple Leaf coins dating back to the release of the gold version in 1988. Included on this side are engravings of the nation of issue, as well as the coin’s purity, weight, and metal content. To the lower left of the maple leaf you’ll find a clover privy mark for this special release.
Founded in 1908, the Royal Canadian Mint was established to help refine precious metals discovered in the Yukon Territories at the conclusion of the 19th century. By the 1970s, the original facility in Ottawa was beyond capacity, and Canadian circulation currency was often struck by the United States Mint to supplement RCM’s capacity. A new facility was added in 1980 in Winnipeg to help meet demand.
