The world’s most secure silver bullion coin—now with MINTSHIELDᵀᴹ surface protection!
Since its introduction in 1988, the iconic Royal Canadian Mint Silver Maple Leaf (SML) has been a highly sought-after bullion investment coin. The SML is minted with one troy ounce (31.11 grams) of 99.99% fine silver and has a face value of $5.
BULLION DNAᵀᴹ Anti-Counterfeiting Technology is an industry first that goes above and beyond other approaches to coin authentication. Every die used to produce SML coins is laser micro-engraved with an anti-counterfeiting security mark. Our registration process—digital non-destructive activation (DNA) technology—captures images encrypted with an algorithm signature and then stores these in our secure database. This proprietary Bullion DNAᵀᴹ technology facilitates the authentication of Silver Maple Leaf coins dated 2015 and later.
SML bullion coins also feature a textured maple leaf, micro-engraved with laser technology on a small area of the reverse side of the coin. In the centre of this mark, visible under magnification, is the numeral "25" denoting the coin’s year of issue.
The radial lines on 2025 Silver Maple Leaf bullion coins are machined precisely to within microns on the master tooling for maximum reproducibility from die to die and coin to coin. The line width and pitch give Silver Maple Leaf coins a characteristic look and create a distinctive, light-diffracting pattern that is specific to this coin.

Enhanced Security
Derived from the same award-winning security technology applied to Canada’s $1 and $2 circulation coins, the PtML security feature consists of a textured maple leaf, micro engraved with laser technology on a small area of the reverse side of the coin. In the centre of this mark, visible under magnification, is the numeral “25”, denoting the coin’s year of issue.
Radial lines in the 2025 PtML’s field have been precisely machined to within microns on the master tooling to ensure reproducibility from die to die and coin to coin.
