2022 Canada $20 Ultra High Relief 1oz. SML Silver Maple Leaf

The first SML engraved in ultra-high relief.

Stunning! An elevated take on a classic, this is the first ever ultra-high relief Silver Maple Leaf (SML) coin. Struck in a reverse proof finish (frosted field, brilliant relief) and on an innovative new coin blank, this fine silver coin boasts a peak relief height of 1.4 mm on its reverse, resulting in a more dimensional rendering of the SML’s namesake leaf than ever before. Behind the scenes, there’s a personal connection, too: the relief was sculpted by retired Senior Engraver Susan Taylor, who previously worked under the tutelage of the late Walter Ott, creator of this world-famous leaf portrait.

Elevating a classic: The SML, now in ultra-high relief.

Packaging Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.

The first UHR SML  This is the first ultra-high relief (UHR) Silver Maple Leaf (SML) coin issued by the Royal Canadian Mint. Crafted in 1 oz. of 99.99% pure silver, this captivating collectible offers a more dimensional view of the SML’s namesake leaf than ever before.

Ultra high  The reverse features a peak relief height of 1.4 mm—a feat made possible by the creation of a new coin blank that offers the same precious metal content and affordability as a standard 1 oz. SML, but also allows the sculpted art to reach new heights.

Reverse proof finish   Set against a frosted field, the ultra-high relief dazzles thanks to a mirror-like shine that reflects maximum light.
