Description

The 2024 debut of the Canadian Maple Leaf bullion coins marks a significant milestone in contemporary history. After the lamentable passing of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022, the Royal Canadian Mint seamlessly continued its 2023 bullion series, featuring Her Majesty’s regal effigy on the obverse. However, the 2024 release stands out as an extraordinary edition, representing the inaugural occasion in the program’s history where a reigning monarch, King Charles III, graces the obverse of Canadian coinage.

Since its inception in 1988, the Canadian Silver Maple Leaf has consistently featured a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. However, with the passing of Her Late Majesty in September 2022, a poignant shift has occurred, and the 2024 Maple Leaf Series now showcases a new portrait of King Charles III, the current British monarch. The obverse side of the 2024 Canadian Silver Maple Leaf Coin unveils a captivating left-profile relief of Charles III, a departure from the right-profile portrait of his late mother. This change in orientation aligns with the British coining tradition, seamlessly transitioning from one monarch to the next, a tradition reflected in Canadian coinage as well.

On the reverse face of the 2024 1 oz Silver Maple Leaf Coin, Walter Ott’s timeless design of the sugar maple leaf takes center stage. Originating in 1979 for the Gold Maple Leaf, Ott’s naturalistic depiction of the maple leaf is enhanced with radial lines throughout the background field, and a laser-engraved maple leaf privy adorns the bottom of the field, adding a touch of sophistication to this iconic coin.
