The Canadian Silver Maple Leaf is arguably one of the Royal Canadian Mint’s most coveted bullion coin programs. Taken together with its gold, platinum, and palladium counterparts, the Canadian Maple Leaf is one of the world’s most successful bullion programs. The Silver Maple Leaf is traditionally offered in just 1 oz silver, though the RCM takes great strides to offer unique versions of the 1 oz Silver Maple Leaf. The use of privy marks is one way the mint achieves this goal. Right now, certified-perfect 2016 1 oz Tank Privy Canadian Silver Maple Leaf Reverse Proof Coins are available to purchase online from JM Bullion.

2016 saw the Royal Canadian Mint issue a total of eight different 1 oz Canadian Silver Maple Leaf coins with privy marks. These ranged in design from privy marks honoring the Chinese Panda Series and the initials coins of the Canadian Wildlife Series to this coin marking the 100^th anniversary of the Mark V tank’s development. Each coin available here is a reverse-proof specimen with mirrored designs and frosted background fields.

Queen Elizabeth II is on the obverse of 2016 Tank Privy Silver Maple Leaf Coins. This is the fourth-generation portrait of the Queen and was developed in 2003 by Susanna Blunt. This is the first design for a Canadian coin during her reign to lack a crown or tiara on her head.

The sugar maple leaf features on the reverse side of the 2016 1 oz Canadian Silver Maple Leaf Reverse Proof Coin. The sugar maple leaf has been a constant in this series and was designed in 1979 by Walter Ott.

Included on the reverse side of each coin is a small Mark V tank privy mark. The Mark V was a British tank developed during World War I that is widely recognized as the first, successful mechanized, armored vehicle in combat.
