2018 Canada 1 oz Silver Maple Leaf (Incuse Design) – SKU #42318

Description

This 2018 Silver Maple Leaf was struck in one troy ounce of .9999 fine silver and features the incuse design to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Maple Leaf design first being used on silver dollars in 1988!  The design is different from most Canadian silver Maple Leaf coins in that the iconic Maple Leaf is sunk into the coin instead of protruding outwards from its surroundings like the other years’ designs. These modern Maple Leaf coins have added security features to them, such as micro engraved lines and Bullion DNA technology, to help authenticate genuine coins and to prevent against counterfeiting. 2018, the inaugural year of the incused design, was also the first year the Royal Canadian Mint used MINTSHIELD technology to help prevent white “milk spots” from forming both during and after minting. The 2018 incused Maple design was limited to only 250,000 coins, making it sure to be a true hit amongst collectors.

Obverse: Incuse likeness of Her Majesty The Queen Elizabeth II, the denomination and date.
