The Maple Leaf is the silver bullion coin of Canada. The Royal Canadian Mint has struck it without interruption since 1988, and the sugar maple leaf design has stayed the same throughout. The coin measures 38 mm across and carries a face value of 5 Canadian dollars.
This listing is supplied from mixed years. The year of issue depends on stock; weight, fineness and design are identical across all years.

Most silver bullion coins are 999 fine. The Maple Leaf is one of the few struck at 999.9, with ten times less base metal. Per ounce that means 31.1004 g of pure silver instead of 31.0724 g.
The difference in grams is small, but it is useful at resale: with 999.9 coins there is no discussion about the actual silver content.
Since 2014 a pattern of radial lines surrounds the maple leaf on the reverse, struck with a precision that an ordinary die cannot reproduce. There is also a micro-engraved maple leaf carrying the last two digits of the year, visible only under magnification.
Both features let you check the coin without scales, acid or any damage to the surface.
With the Maple Leaf the year makes little visual difference, as the design has not changed since 1988. Apart from the date, coins from different years look the same.
The difference is the price. Mints charge a premium for the current year issue. If you want a specific date, the Maple Leaf 2026 is listed as a separate product.
Silver is not VAT exempt; the exemption under Article 122 of the Polish VAT Act applies to gold bullion only. Mixed-year Maple Leafs are, however, sold under the VAT margin scheme (Article 120): tax is charged only on the dealer margin and is not shown separately on the invoice. Current-year silver coins and silver bars are sold at the standard 23% rate.
Silver reacts with sulphur compounds in the air and slowly develops toning. Weight and fineness are not affected, but an even surface is valued higher at resale. Store the coin dry and away from rubber, wool and recycled cardboard. Silver polish removes a thin layer of metal together with the toning.
We source coins from state mints and LBMA-accredited producers. Every shipment is insured and packed without any indication of its contents. We stock Canadian Maple Leafs both in mixed years and as the current issue. Through our gold and silver buyback you can sell coins bought from us back later, and the current price is shown on the silver price page.
