Struck from one troy ounce of exceptionally pure 999.9 silver, the 2011 Canadian Silver Maple Leaf combines internationally recognised bullion credentials with one of Canada’s most enduring national symbols.

Produced by the prestigious Royal Canadian Mint, this government-issued bullion coin carries a face value of $5 Canadian dollars and features the classic maple leaf design alongside the fourth definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.

Its trusted purity, recognisable design and specific 2011 date make it an attractive addition to a physical silver stack or collection of international bullion coins.

The Canadian Silver Maple Leaf

The Canadian Silver Maple Leaf was introduced by the Royal Canadian Mint in 1988, following the international success of its gold counterpart.

Since its introduction, the series has become one of the most widely recognised silver bullion programmes in the world. Each standard one-ounce coin is struck from 999.9 fine silver, offering a higher stated purity than many traditional .999 silver bullion coins.

The Silver Maple Leaf is issued annually as official Canadian legal tender, with its precious-metal value substantially exceeding its nominal face value.

Iconic Maple Leaf Reverse

The reverse features a large, intricately engraved sugar maple leaf, one of the most recognisable symbols of Canada.

The bilingual inscriptions surrounding the design confirm the coin’s country of issue, weight and purity:

CANADA
9999 9999
FINE SILVER 1 OZ ARGENT PUR

The clean background and finely detailed veins of the leaf create the traditional appearance associated with earlier Silver Maple Leaf bullion coins.

Queen Elizabeth II Obverse

The obverse carries the right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II designed by celebrated Canadian portrait artist Susanna Blunt.

First introduced on Canadian coinage in 2003, this uncrowned portrait presents Her Late Majesty wearing a necklace and earrings.

The inscriptions surrounding the portrait identify the monarch, denomination and year of issue:

ELIZABETH II
5 DOLLARS 2011

Classic Pre-Security Design

The 2011 Silver Maple Leaf was produced before the introduction of the radial-line fields and micro-engraved maple leaf security mark found on later issues.

It therefore displays the classic earlier Maple Leaf appearance, with open fields surrounding the central designs. This makes it useful for collectors assembling a date run or seeking examples representing the earlier period of the Silver Maple Leaf series.

The absence of modern radial lines or a micro-engraved security mark is correct for the 2011 issue.

One Troy Ounce of 999.9 Silver

Each coin contains one full troy ounce of fine silver, equivalent to approximately 31.10 grams.

Its fineness of 999.9, also expressed as .9999 pure silver, makes it a highly recognisable and easily traded physical silver product from a respected sovereign mint.

2011-Dated Bullion Issue

Approximately 23,129,966 standard Silver Maple Leaf bullion coins were produced for 2011.

Although this means the coin is not considered a low-mintage issue, its specific date can command a modest premium over mixed-year bullion, particularly among collectors building complete Maple Leaf date runs.

Important Bullion Condition Information

This product is supplied as a bullion coin rather than a proof or independently graded collectable.

Bullion coins may display minor production, storage or handling characteristics, including small contact marks, scratches, edge marks, surface variations, milk spots or natural toning. Canadian Silver Maple Leaf coins are particularly well known for occasionally developing milk spotting.

These characteristics do not affect the coin’s stated weight, silver purity or status as genuine Royal Canadian Mint bullion.

Please review the available product images where the exact condition of an individual coin is important.
