Silver Maple Leaf – 1 oz. Fine Silver Ultra High Relief Coin - 5$ Canada 2026
 
New colour technology: Vivid Toning Effect elevates the natural beauty of the UHR Silver Maple Leaf. 
 
When fall paints Canada’s landscapes, its colours are anything but flat—it imbues even the silhouette of a single maple leaf with a spectrum of vivid hues.
 
That wondrous range is captured on the 2026 Ultra High Relief (UHR) Silver Maple Leaf (SML) coin, where Walter Ott’s classic maple leaf has been rendered in Ultra High Relief, polished to a high shine, and finished with our innovative new Vivid Toning Effect—a Mint first that produces intense colours with a foil-like finish. The technology catches the light to reveal realistic flashes of yellow, orange and red that shimmer across the leaf’s surface, echoing the way sunlight filters through a Canadian forest canopy on a bright autumn day. The luminous effect is further amplified by a new maple-themed field pattern that is bursting with rays of light, reflecting endless pride in Canada’s autumnal elegance.
 
A dual-tech design: UHR with Vivid Toning Effect!

NEW! Vivid Toning Effect
New for 2026, Vivid Toning Effect is a first for us—it’s an innovative way of achieving realistic (and quintessentially Canadian) colours with a distinctive foil-like finish. On your coin’s reverse, light passes through the vibrant hues of yellow, orange and red, catching the polished relief underneath and reflecting back outward to create an iridescent, lit-from-within glow.
 
New luminous field pattern
The maple-themed field pattern is bursting with rays of light that amplify both the coin’s silver shine and the leaf’s vivid colours, resulting in a striking design that seemingly radiates energy from within.
