1 oz Canadian Silver Maple Leaf Coin – Backdated

A backdated 1 oz Canadian Silver Maple Leaf Coin contains one troy ounce (31.1 grams) of 99.99% pure (.9999 fine) silver. The exact year supplied will vary according to available stock.

Produced by the Royal Canadian Mint, the Canadian Silver Maple Leaf is one of the world’s most recognised investment silver coins. Its high silver purity, distinctive maple leaf design and international recognition have made it a popular choice for physical silver investors.

Why Buy a Backdated Canadian Silver Maple Leaf?

Backdated, previous-issue or any-year Silver Maples can provide a cost-effective way to buy internationally recognised silver bullion when the particular year of issue is not important to you.

For bullion investors, the main value of the coin comes from the one troy ounce of fine silver it contains. A previous-issue Silver Maple may therefore offer similar silver exposure to a current-year coin while sometimes being available at a lower premium.

A backdated 1 oz Canadian Silver Maple Leaf offers:

• 1 troy ounce of fine silver – 31.1 grams
• 99.99% pure silver – .9999 fineness
• Royal Canadian Mint production – from Canada’s sovereign mint
• $5 CAD face value – legal tender in Canada
• Recognisable Maple Leaf design – one of the world’s best-known silver bullion coin designs
• Flexible quantities – buy according to your requirements rather than being limited to a full monster box

1 oz Canadian Silver Maple Leaf Specifications

What Year Canadian Silver Maple Leaf Will I Receive?

This is a backdated or previous-issue Silver Maple Leaf, so the year supplied depends on the stock available when you order. We do not guarantee a particular year.

The portrait and some design or security details may vary between different years. However, the product supplied will be a genuine 1 oz Canadian Silver Maple Leaf containing one troy ounce of .9999 fine silver.

Canadian Silver Maple Leaf Design and Security Features

The reverse features the Canadian maple leaf together with the coin’s weight and .9999 silver purity. The obverse carries the Canadian monarch applicable to the year of issue, together with the coin’s $5 CAD face value.

Design and security details can vary according to the year supplied. More recent Silver Maple issues incorporate security features such as precisely machined radial lines and a micro-engraved maple leaf security mark.

Buy Individual Coins, Tubes or Larger Quantities

This product is no longer limited to a 500-coin monster box. You can choose the quantity of backdated Silver Maple coins that suits your investment.

Depending on the quantity ordered and available stock, coins may be supplied individually, in tubes of 25 coins, or in 500-coin Royal Canadian Mint monster boxes for larger orders. Smaller quantities may be supplied in a partly filled tube or other suitable protective packaging.

This gives investors greater flexibility while still allowing larger orders for those looking to buy Canadian Silver Maple coins in bulk.

Backdated vs Current-Year Canadian Silver Maple Coins

Both backdated and current-year Silver Maple Leaf coins contain one troy ounce of .9999 fine silver. The main differences are the year of issue, availability and the premium applying to the available stock.

If you want the latest annual issue, compare this product with our current-year 1 oz Canadian Silver Maple Leaf Coin.

If the year is less important than obtaining investment-grade silver at a competitive price, the backdated product may offer better value when previous-issue stock is available.

Silver Maple Price, Face Value and Bullion Value

The displayed price of a backdated 1 oz Canadian Silver Maple Leaf reflects the current silver price together with applicable exchange rates, sourcing costs and the product premium. These factors can change throughout the trading day.

Although the Silver Maple Leaf has a face value of $5 CAD, its bullion value is primarily determined by the value of the one troy ounce of fine silver it contains rather than its legal-tender face value. Learn more about whether you should buy legal-tender face-value gold and silver coins.
