99.99% Pure Silver, Dated 2027
The 2027 Canadian Silver Maple Leaf contains one troy ounce of .9999 fine silver and comes from the Royal Canadian Mint in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Each coin carries a $5 CAD face value.
Every coin contains one full troy ounce of .9999 fine silver. That level of purity has been a defining feature of the Silver Maple Leaf since the series began in 1988.
The 2027 issue is also eligible for inclusion in a precious metals IRA and includes the Royal Canadian Mint’s current security and surface-protection features.
The Leaf and the King
The reverse features Walter Ott’s familiar sugar maple leaf design, surrounded by CANADA, FINE SILVER 1 OZ ARGENT PUR, and the coin’s 9999 purity markings. Fine radial lines cover the field and add both visual detail and an additional layer of security.
The obverse features the effigy of King Charles III along with CHARLES III, the $5 denomination, and the 2027 date.
King Charles III appears on the obverse, while the iconic maple leaf remains the centerpiece of the reverse. A small micro-engraved maple leaf on the reverse provides an additional security feature.
Purer Is Not Heavier
A .9999 fine silver coin does not contain more silver than a .999 fine one-ounce bullion coin. Both still contain one full troy ounce of silver.
The difference is purity, not the amount of silver you receive. The fourth nine indicates that a smaller portion of the coin’s metal content consists of trace impurities.
The Royal Canadian Mint also applies MintShield, a surface treatment designed to reduce the occurrence of milk spots. It lowers the likelihood of spotting rather than eliminating it entirely, so careful storage and handling still matter.
Built to Be Checked
The Royal Canadian Mint incorporates several security features into the Silver Maple Leaf. Precision radial lines cover the coin’s surface and create a distinctive visual pattern as the coin moves under light.
The reverse also includes a micro-engraved maple leaf that can be viewed under magnification and forms part of the Mint’s broader bullion authentication system.
The radial lines and micro-engraved maple leaf give buyers two visible features to examine when checking a coin.
The Royal Canadian Mint packages Silver Maple Leafs in tubes of 25 coins, with 20 tubes packed into a standard monster box for a total of 500 coins.
