Maple Bullion

One national emblem, several bullion ideas

From the enduring Silver Maple Leaf to paired, triple and monumental leaf studies, this family shows how one Canadian emblem changes in scale, rhythm and relief.

The anchor

Silver Maple Leaf

Walter Ott’s single maple leaf has defined Canada’s silver bullion identity since 1988. Its familiar one-ounce format is the point of reference for every other leaf composition here—not one equal card among many.

The recurring sibling

Twin Maples

Twin Maples adds weight and a naturalistic pairing without becoming nine separate design stories. Celia Godkin’s joined sugar-maple leaves remain stable from the 2017 debut through the latest verified 2025 issue.

2017

The first two-leaf reverse

A larger leaf rises left while a smaller leaf extends right.

2018–22

Continuity, not redesign

Dates and the security leaf change; the reverse composition does not.

2023–25

New obverse eras

Memorial and Charles III obverses mark chronology without changing the reverse.

Scale changes the encounter

Exact images make the relationships visible: a known composition enlarged, a trio spread across the field, and one red-maple leaf given monumental space.

Weight and denomination matter, but product continuity and design identity explain why these are not interchangeable coins.

Field + security

Read the precise claim, not the family name

Several modern products use precision radial lines and a dated micro-engraved maple leaf. Visible devices are compared only where product records support them; a feature documented for Silver Maple Leaf is not automatically extended to every sibling.

Radial lines

A controlled field

Fine lines radiate through the field on the verified modern bullion products shown here.

Dated micro leaf

A product-level detail

The small security mark carries the last two digits of the issue year where official records support it.

Obverse chronology

Portraits can change first

Twin Maples crosses Elizabeth II, the 2023 memorial obverse and Charles III without a reverse redesign.

Bullion and collector coins

Related names, separate objects

Proof, coloured, plated, rhodium, privy and presentation products have different collector identities.

MintShield is documented by the Mint for Silver Maple Leaf coins from 2018. It is not presented here as a family-wide Twin, Triple, Grand or Magnificent feature.
