2021 Canada Silver Maple Leaf
It is the most widely recognized national symbol of Canada.
By the early 1700s, the maple leaf had been adopted as an emblem by the French Canadians along the Saint Lawrence River. Its popularity with French Canadians continued and was reinforced when, at the inaugural meeting of the Société Saint-Jean-Baptiste in 1834, the maple leaf was one of numerous emblems proposed to represent the society. Speaking in its favour, Jacques Viger, the first mayor of Montreal, described the maple as "the king of our forest; ... the symbol of the Canadian people."
The maple leaf slowly caught on as a national symbol: in 1868, it was included in the coat of arms of Ontario and the coat of arms of Quebec, and was added to the Canadian coat of arms in 1921.
The maple leaf finally became the central national symbol with the introduction of the Canadian flag (suggested by George F. G. Stanley and sponsored by M.P. John Matheson) in 1965, which uses a highly stylized eleven-pointed maple leaf, referring to no specific species of maple.
Since 1979, the Royal Canadian Mint has produced gold, silver, platinum, and palladium bullion coins, which are officially known as Maple Leafs, as geometric maple leaves are stamped on them.

2021 Canadian Silver Maple Leaf Coin
33rd year of release for the Canadian Silver Maple Leaf coins, contains 1 Troy oz of .9999 pure silver in BU condition.
Both sides of the Canadian Maple Leaf coin have radial lines engraved that reflect light in unique ways and serve as a deterrent to counterfeiting.
The reverse field features a micro laser-engraved maple leaf privy mark. Inside of this privy mark is the 21 date and it is only visible under magnification.
In 1988, the Royal Canadian Mint introduced the Canadian Silver Maple Leafs, the second major silver bullion coin released behind the 1986 introduction of the American Silver Eagle.
On the obverse of the 2021 1 oz Canadian Silver Maple Leaf is a depiction of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty is shown here in right-profile relief in a 2003 design from Susanna Blunt, who was just the second Canadian artist to create a monarch's portrait for Canadian currency.
