The Canadian Silver Maple Leaf is a silver bullion coin issued annually by the Government of Canada since 1988. Produced by the Royal Canadian Mint, it has a face value of 5 Canadian dollars and is legal tender, though its market value is determined by the spot price of silver. The coin is renowned for its high purity, containing 99.99% fine silver, making it one of the finest official bullion coins in the world. Each standard coin weighs 1 troy ounce (31.1 grams). Since 2014, the coin has incorporated advanced security features, including radial lines and a micro-engraved laser mark for added protection against counterfeiting. The reverse displays the iconic Canadian Maple Leaf, a design that has remained unchanged since its introduction.
