Annual Sovereign Coin Release from The Royal Canadian Mint

In recent years, the RCM has enhanced the security of their Silver Maples; these enhancements include radial lines in the background of the design, a micro-engraved maple leaf on the obverse of each coin and Bullion DNA anti-counterfeiting technology. Each coin consists of 1 troy ounce of .9999 pure silver and are backed by the Canadian Government with a $5 (CAD) face value.
