2026 Canadian Mint Silver Maple 5oz Coin

For the first time ever, the Royal Canadian Mint has released a 5 oz Silver Maple Leaf Bullion Coin

Since its debut in 1988, the 1 oz Silver Maple Leaf (SML) has become one of the most respected and collected bullion coins on the planet — synonymous with purity, security, and craftsmanship. Now, that same prestige is being brought to a larger 5 oz canvas, amplifying every iconic detail of a new Maple Leaf design.

Struck from 5 troy ounces of .9999 fine silver, this large-format coin captures every fine line and subtle texture of the maple leaf, presented in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition with advanced security features and a bold, luminous finish.

The Design

The reverse, designed by Canadian artist Nathalie Lagacé, features the red maple (Acer rubrum)—a symbol of Canada’s adaptability and vibrant natural spirit. Known for its fiery autumn colour and its resilience from riverbanks to rocky ridges, the red maple stands as a living emblem of growth and endurance. Every vein and contour of the leaf is meticulously engraved, enhanced by the coin’s large 63.5 mm diameter and radiant finish.

The obverse features the newly designed effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati, accompanied by the inscriptions “CHARLES III,” “25 DOLLARS,” and “2026.”

The coin’s background is detailed with precision radial lines—a signature of Royal Canadian Mint bullion—and includes a micro-engraved security mark featuring a tiny maple leaf with the digits “26,” confirming its year of issue.
