The sugar maple leaf is an emblem and the national symbol of the modern nation of Canada. This sugar maple leaf design was adapted from the first design created in 1979 by Walter Ott for the gold version of the Canadian Maple Leaf.

In 1988, the Canadian Silver Maple Leaf coin was the first .9999 pure silver bullion coin offered in the market and in 2014 was among the first bullion coin programs to feature security measures in the design to combat counterfeiting.
