Canadian Maple Leaf bullion coins represent one of the few programs in the world with releases each year in all four major precious metals. The coins were first offered in 1979 in gold only, with silver and platinum introduced in 1988. Palladium was the last metal to be introduced in the series and has seen interrupted production over the years.
All of the 2022 1 oz Colorized Silver Canadian Maple Leafs available in this listing come with individual acrylic capsules for delivery and arrive in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The coins in this listing offer colorized visuals on the reverse side that have been applied only to the sugar maple leaf design.
On the obverse side of 2022 Colorized Silver Maple Leafs is a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Throughout her reign as Queen of England and the Commonwealth Nations, she has featured on coinage in right-profile relief. This design is exclusive to Canadian coins and was created in 2003 for the Royal Canadian Mint by Susanna Blunt.
The reverse field of the 2022 1 oz Colorized Canadian Silver Maple Leaf comes with a depiction of the sugar maple leaf. The sugar maple is one of the most abundant species of maple trees in North America and the leaf of this tree has long served as a symbol of Canada. Representative of its vast wilderness, the sugar maple leaf remains the emblem of Canada to this day. In this design, the entire life cycle of the leaf is captured with colors ranging from green at the center to various seasonal changes of red, yellow, orange, and brown as you move to the tips of the leaf. Both fields include radial lines in the background and there is a laser-etched maple leaf privy on the reverse.
