Description
2026 1 oz Silver Maple Leaf
The 2026 1 oz Silver Maple Leaf is a Canadian silver bullion coin issued by the Royal Canadian Mint. It contains 1 troy ounce of .9999 fine silver and is supplied by African Bullion in brand new, mint condition with an individual protective capsule.
For South African buyers, the Silver Maple Leaf is a useful international bullion option alongside local Krugerrands and other recognised 1 oz silver coins. Its appeal lies in its high silver purity, global recognition and clear technical specification, not in any guarantee of future collector value.
Recognised bullion from the Royal Canadian Mint
The Royal Canadian Mint has issued the Silver Maple Leaf since 1988. The 2026 bullion coin has no fixed mintage according to the Mint, which means it should be treated as standard bullion stock unless a separate privy, proof or premium bullion version is supplied.
The obverse features the King Charles III effigy by Canadian artist Steven Rosati. The reverse carries the maple leaf design with precise radial lines and a micro-engraved security mark showing the 2026 year under magnification.
Design and specification
The Royal Canadian Mint specifications list the 2026 Silver Maple Leaf at 31.11 g, 38 mm diameter, 99.99% pure silver, serrated edge and $5 face value. The Mint also notes Bullion DNA technology and MINTSHIELD surface protection on Silver Maple Leaf bullion coins dated 2018 and later.
This product brief confirms that African Bullion’s stock is supplied with an individual protective capsule. The capsule helps protect the coin during handling and storage, while the product remains a bullion coin valued mainly for its fine silver content and recognised issuer.
Buying from African Bullion
African Bullion sells physical bullion through the online shop, with prices linked to live precious metal and exchange-rate inputs. Once payment has cleared, orders are packed and sent by insured courier within South Africa. For security reasons, the courier is not told the parcel contents.
Your invoice serves as proof of purchase and should be kept with your bullion records. Many clients buy physical silver as a long-term store of value and as a way to diversify outside the banking system, while accepting that silver prices can move up or down in the short term.
