Black rhodium and super incuse—a striking combination that leaves a deep impression.
For the 2023 edition, we’ve combined two stand-out features—black rhodium plating from 2020, and the 1.5 mm super incuse depth that set a new standard in 2021—to give our Silver Maple Leaf (SML) design a more modern edge.
This special edition of the SML is a study in contrasts: it mixes standard raised relief with a super-incused strike, and a reverse proof finish (frosted field, brilliant relief) with the sleek satin look of black rhodium plating. The result is a fresh take on a familiar design—it’s contemporary, it’s captivating, and it is sure to leave a lasting impression.
Black rhodium and super incuse—a bold combination for 2023.
Special features
Fresh yet familiar. This 2023 edition features a new, innovative mix of two stand-out features: black rhodium plating from 2020, and the 1.5 mm incuse depth from the 2021 and 2022 coins. The perfect addition to your SML collection!
Super incuse—a continuing tradition. In 2021, we took Walter Ott’s original art to new depths with the first ever Super Incuse Silver Maple Leaf (SML) coin. We did it again in 2022, and that extreme relief depth of 1.5 mm repeats on the 2023 edition, too.
A favourite. This special issue featuring the SML bullion coin design is crafted in 1 oz. of 99.99% pure silver. Previous 1 oz. SML coins sold out quickly, so don’t miss this opportunity in 2023—order today!
Low mintage. Limited to 8,000 coins worldwide.
Packaging
Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a black Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.
Bold black rhodium
To emphasize the incuse strike and add a modern edge, the deeply recessed maple leaf has been plated with black rhodium. Black rhodium plating also fills the field on the coin’s obverse, and it darkens both the coin’s edge and rim to boldly frame the reverse.
Reverse proof finish
This coin is a study in contrasts, especially with its lightly frosted field and brilliant relief. The reverse proof finish pairs beautifully with the satin sheen of black rhodium to achieve an ultra-modern look that exudes sophistication and truly makes the maple leaf pop!
