History of the Canadian Silver Maple Leaf Coin

The Canadian Silver Maple was first produced by the Royal Canadian Mint in 1988. Designed by Arnold Machin, the original obverse design features a young Queen Elizabeth II, at age 39.

The image remained until 1990, when it was replaced with a 64-year-old Elizabeth, and 14 years later, with a 79-year-old portrait of her majesty, designed by Susanna Blunt.

The 2004 update remains as the current, standard design. A variety of sizes and denominations have been produced since, in addition to several special edition and anniversary collections. 

Like the bullion it produces, the Mint has a rich history that only lends to its remarkable reputation. While the first Canadian coins were originally struck in parts of England, the Royal Mint was officially founded in Ottawa in 1908, thanks to the patronage of a handful of British noblemen and women.

As the Mint continued to grow, it became overworked and antiquated, but it was not until 1976 that RCM opened the Winnipeg branch. Although discussions for this second offshoot began in the early 1960s, the project was unable to move forward due to political tensions and disagreements.

After the strain had settled, and the Winnipeg facility finally opened its doors, the Royal Canadian Mint swiftly began to rise in popularity, building the reputation of excellence it holds to this day.

The RCM continues to be one of the most renowned and celebrated mints in the world, producing billions of coins every year for over sixty countries worldwide.

2020 Canadian Silver Maple Design

Unlike its competitors, the Canadian Silver Maple has carried a lasting and consistent design, with only a few minor changes over the years. The obverse features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, originally designed by artist and sculptor Arnold Machin. Machin’s work was additionally used on a variety of currency from Australia and New Zealand.

The design has changed on three separate occasions, depicting the queen’s age throughout her monarchy. It was last updated in 2005. “Elizabeth II”, “5 Dollars” and the year “2020” are additionally engraved. 

The reverse image features Canada’s national symbol, the maple leaf. The significance of this foliage has been traced back to early French Canadian settlers in the 19th century, who were enamored with the leaf, claiming it was the most majestic in the forest. The significance of the maple leaf has stood the test of time and continues to be a symbol of pride, unity and solidarity.

The word “Canada” is inscribed, as well as the coin’s weight, purity and silver content.

The RCM added security measures in 2014, including radial lines and a micro-engraved maple leaf mint mark.

The detailed artistry of this design undoubtedly will make it an instant classic that is desirable to both investors and collectors around the world.
