Canadian Silver Maple Leafs are part of the larger Canadian Maple Leaf program of bullion and proof coins from the Royal Canadian Mint. Originating in 1979 as the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf, these were the first coins other than the South African Gold Krugerrand to provide precious metals to investors as bullion coins.
In this listing, JM Bullion offers colorized Canadian Silver Maple Leafs from Emporium Hamburg. This coin is part of a series of six of the world’s most popular silver bullion coins which have been colorized by the German third-party authorized coin dealer.
On the reverse of the 2016 1 oz Colorized Canadian Silver Maple Leaf you’ll find one of the simple colorizations in this series of six. Only the sugar maple leaf itself is colorized, with rich green tones in the center of the leaf giving way to browner hues at the tips of the leaf.
The obverse of call Canadian Silver Maple Leaf coins features the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Created in 2003 by Susanna Blunt, this image is exclusive to the obverse side of Canadian coinage, and not used by any other commonwealth nation.
Each 2016 1 oz Colorized Canadian Silver Maple Leaf in this listing is a BU specimen. Coins in Brilliant Uncirculated condition show no signs of wear and tear, but may feature breaks in the luster, spotted surfaces, or contact marks from striking during the production process.
The Royal Canadian Mint is the sovereign mint of Canada, and is responsible for the original production of these coins. The mint rarely colorizes its Canadian Silver Maple Leaf coins, and in this case the colorization has been done by Emporium Hamburg.
