Mintage
The first strike of the Silver Maple Leafs in 1988 accounted for an average of 1 million coins. And this number kept increasing over the annual releases to meet the demands of investors and collectors who trust the quality and the high level of silver content within each piece. The 99.99% concentration of silver is a landmark for the Royal Canadian Mint.
The coins have a face value of 5 Canadian Dollars and legal tender status guaranteed by the Canadian Government.
RCM Bullion DNA
The Royal Canadian Mint has developed a unique system of authentication of each produced coin to avoid counterfeiting: The Bullion DNA, which stands for Digital Non-Destructive Activation. Each coin receives an encrypted string of codes during the registration process, which is stored in the RCM’s database. Only specific scanners can read the encrypted code.
