The Royal Canadian Mint began as a branch of the Royal British Mint, but it has manufactured its own coinage since 1908. Beginning in 1988, it struck the first silver bullion coins. Silver Canadian Coins are widely recognized for their high value and gorgeous designs. On top of that, the RCM is known for being an innovator and is among the first to strike coins with a .9999 fine silver purity. Other firsts set forth by this mint include colored, hologram, square coins, and coins featuring a special security detail.
The obverse of the 2021 Silver Maple Leaf coin features the right-facing bust of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Susanna Blunt created this illustration that has been featured on the Canadian Maple Leaf coins since 2004. In this image, Her Majesty wears her royal earrings and necklace. Inscriptions for her name, the denomination, and the year of mintage encompass the rim. Finally, radial lines emanate from the center of the background towards the coin's rim.
The reverse displays the national symbol of Canada through an intricately detailed Maple Leaf. A micro-engraved maple leaf near the bottom of the coin provides an extra security measure. Inscriptions for the country, purity, and weight surround the edge of the coin.
