1/2 oz 2026 Gleaming Maple Leaves Reverse Proof Silver Coin | Royal Canadian Mint

The silver maple leaf’s timeless beauty, renewed in every detail.

The gentlest breeze sets the leaves of the silver maple tree in motion, their silvery undersides catching the light as they softly sway and shimmer. That fleeting moment is beautifully captured and preserved on this ½ oz. 99.99% pure silver coin, where finely veined leaves are rendered in a refined, enduring style, enhanced by multiple frostings that add depth. The result is a classic portrait that balances delicacy with strength, a portrait that highlights both the natural grace of the maple and the timeless allure of Canada’s most treasured symbol.

DID YOU KNOW?

The silver maple is one of the 10 maple species (genus Acer) that were proclaimed Canada’s national arboreal emblem in 1996. While its common name refers to the bright undersides of its leaves, the scientific name Acer saccharinum is a nod to the silver maple’s sweet sap, though it’s not as sweet as the sap of a sugar maple (Acer saccharum), the preferred species for maple syrup production.

ABOUT THE ROYAL CANADIAN MINT

The Ottawa Branch of the Royal Mint opened in 1908 and was renamed The Royal Canadian Mint in 1931 when control was transferred to the Canadian government. Their high standards for excellence and quality allowed them to be the first refinery to manufacture 9999 fine gold bullion coins in 1982, as well as the first to reach 99999 fine gold purity in 1998.
