Next year’s silver bullion coins depicting the iconic maple leaf will sport a new finish and an advanced micro engraved design, additions that are “cutting edge in coin security,” the Royal Canadian Mint said this week.
Replacing the bullion finish associated with the Silver Maple Leaf (SML) since its 1988 introduction are “precise” radial lines that emanate from the center of the coin on both the obverse (heads side) and reverse (tails side). These lines are matched from die to die and coin to coin.
