Royal Canadian Mint Issues Two Silver Maple Leaf Bullion Coin Anniversary Editions

Royal Canadian Mint 30 Year Anniversary Bullion Silver Coins

After selling more than 200 million ounces since 1988, setting industry standards for purity and security, and leading the market as one of the world’s most sought-after silver bullion coins, the Royal Canadian Mint’s Silver Maple Leaf is celebrating 30 years of amazing success. In honor of this milestone, the Mint is issuing two special 30th anniversary versions of its iconic 1 oz. silver bullion coin, with reverses inspired by the theme of its signature maple leaf design: one incorporating an intricate engraving of the signature maple leaf reverse design intertwined with the numeral “30”, while the other features a Mint-first double-incuse engraving of both the maple leaf reverse and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s effigy on the obverse.

Both these special anniversary issues will be available soon.

“Our Silver Maple Leaf bullion coin has been a standard bearer from its very beginnings, starting with its 99.99% purity and, most recently, leading-edge security such as Bullion DNA anti-counterfeiting technology,” said Chris Carkner, Vice-President of Sales at the Royal Canadian Mint. “We are proud of the market leadership the Silver Maple Leaf has achieved over the last 30 years and are excited to launch two anniversary products which embody the same qualities that have made it one of the world’s favorite silver bullion coins.”

Like the 99.99% pure Silver Maple Leaf bullion coin which they honor, both anniversary coins have a finish consisting of an array of precisely machined radial lines and their reverses feature a micro-engraved security mark in the shape of a maple leaf containing the number “18”, to denote their year of issue.

These coins, to be offered in low mintages, bear a $5 face value and will be available as singles or in a 500-coin monster box.
