Minted by the Royal Canadian Mint in limited quantity and issued annually since 1988, the Canadian Silver Maple Leaf coin's face value is the highest among silver bullion coins at CA$5 and is the first minted coin depicting the latest official likeness of the Queen.

Although the Royal Canadian Mint periodically embellishes this silver coin's design by adding colour or privy marks, all versions prominently feature the iconic maple leaf emblem - an internationally-recognized symbol of Canadian identity.

The reverse depicts one of three different effigies of Queen Elizabeth II in various stages of life (year of issue and 5-dollar face value are also shown).

As with all Canadian Silver Maple leaf coins, the 2013 design includes the series' hallmark assurance: "Fine Silver 1 oz Argent Pur" on the leaf face.

To ensure damage-free shipping, individual coins are protected by a plastic sleeve; multiples of 25 are further shielded within a rigid plastic tube.
