The 1 oz Canadian Silver Maple Leaf is one of the most widely recognized silver bullion coins in the world. Struck in exceptionally pure silver and backed by the Canadian government, it has earned a global reputation for quality and liquidity. This off-quality listing offers the same trusted silver content at a more accessible price point.
While these coins may display visible handling marks, light abrasions, milk spots, or surface wear, their intrinsic value remains unchanged. For investors focused on silver weight rather than pristine surfaces, this option delivers dependable bullion at strong value.
Key Features:
-
Purity and Weight: 1 troy ounce | .9999 fine silver
-
Metal Type: Silver
-
Obverse Design: Effigy of Queen Elizabeth II with denomination and date
-
Reverse Design: Detailed maple leaf with weight and purity inscriptions
The obverse features a right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, surrounded by inscriptions that include her name, the face value of “5 DOLLARS,” and the year of issue. The effigy is rendered in smooth relief against a clean field, though off-quality examples may show contact marks or circulation wear across the surface. Even with cosmetic imperfections, the portrait remains clearly defined and instantly recognizable.
On the reverse, Canada’s iconic maple leaf commands the center of the design. The leaf’s veins and textured surfaces are finely engraved, creating depth and visual contrast. Surrounding inscriptions read “CANADA” along the top and “FINE SILVER 1 OZ ARGENT PUR” along the lower rim, with “9999” appearing on both sides of the leaf to confirm its exceptional purity. Despite potential surface blemishes, the bold outline of the maple leaf remains a powerful symbol of Canadian heritage and bullion excellence.
First introduced in 1988, the Silver Maple Leaf quickly became a cornerstone of the global silver market. Its .9999 fineness set a high standard for purity, and its consistent design has made it a staple for investors worldwide.
Unlike graded or pristine examples, off-quality Maple Leafs are valued primarily for their silver content rather than cosmetic perfection. This makes them an attractive choice for stackers seeking maximum ounces for their budget.
Coins are typically shipped in protective packaging to prevent additional handling during transit. Specific years may vary based on inventory.
The 1 oz Canadian Silver Maple Leaf remains one of the most trusted silver bullion coins available. Even in off-quality condition, it delivers a full ounce of .9999 fine silver backed by a sovereign mint.

This says clearly off quality but it wasn’t too bad. Some milk spots on one side but it is the weight that counts. Happy 😊 I got the order within a 6 day window of ordering. Very good!! ALWAYS happy with HB!
