1998 Canada 1 oz Silver Maple Leaf BU
The 1998 Canadian Silver Maple Leaf represents a notable year in a beloved bullion tradition that first began in 1988. Struck by the Royal Canadian Mint, this five dollar denomination coin contains one troy ounce of exceptionally pure 0.9999 fine silver. The 1998 issue had a total mintage of 591,359 pieces, making it a distinct historical marker within the long-running series. On the obverse, the coin displays the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This side also bears the official five-dollar denomination and the 1998 year of issue. The design is simple, elegant, and serves as a formal anchor for the coin's national identity. The reverse is dedicated to Canada's most recognizable symbol, the maple leaf. Rendered in intricate detail, the central leaf is flanked by the purity of the metal, marked as 9999 on both sides of the leaf. Inscriptions wrapped around the border confirm the weight and metal content in both English and French, reading FINE SILVER 1 OZ ARGENT PUR, highlighting the bilingual heritage of its issuing nation.
