Made in Manitoba: This silver coin with the mintmark "W" introduces a new finish.
Available again due to high demand! For 2020, the Ottawa and Winnipeg mills joined forces to create the first-ever "Made in Manitoba" tribute to the beloved Silver Maple Leaf (SML) bullion coin. It was the first pure silver numismatic coin minted at the Winnipeg plant, and its distinctive "W" mintmark and burnished (matte) finish set it apart from others. On this 2021 fine silver collectible, you'll find the same silver maple leaf design and "W" mintmark, but with a new coin finish inspired by the striking exterior of our Winnipeg facility.

Design: The reverse of your coin features the iconic maple leaf from our first bullion coin, the 1979 Gold Maple Leaf bullion coin, designed by master engraver Walter Ott; the design is still used on all Maple Leaf bullion coins today. On the reverse, there is a mint mark "W" to the left of the leaf stem, indicating that this numismatic coin was minted at our Winnipeg facility and not in Ottawa, where our numismatic coins are normally minted. On both the obverse and reverse, the coin's custom design was inspired by the striking exterior of our Winnipeg facility, with straight lines in the background that meet at an angle in the center. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
When the Silver Maple Leaf bullion coin was introduced in 1988, it immediately set a new standard as the world's first 99.99% pure silver bullion coin. It bears the same reverse design as the Gold Maple Leaf - a highly recognizable image created by master engraver Walter Ott.
