The Royal Canadian Mint has electrified the world’s bullion investors and coin collectors after unveiling its 2014 Canadian Silver Maple.
The newest edition of the 1 oz .9999 pure silver coin will come with a radial line finish and advanced security features, aimed at boosting security while showcasing the mint’s technological prowess.
Expected to be a permanent fixture on the mint’s crown jewel of bullion coins, the trailblazing new finish features meticulously placed radial lines. The lines create a shimmering pattern on the surface of the coin, a feature unparalleled by any other bullion coin on earth.
The new security feature includes a tiny micro-engraved maple leaf privy, with the number 14 at its center. The annually-changing number will only be detectable under magnification.
In response to the coin’s release, Ian E. Bennett, President and CEO of RCM said:
“The Royal Canadian Mint is committed to delivering outstanding quality and value to its customers by constantly improving its products through innovation. After 25 years of producing the world’s purest and one of its most popular silver bullion coins, the Mint is pleased to offer investors even more value by incorporating technology which also makes our Silver Maple Leaf bullion coin a world leader in security.”
Official bullion dealers — including Provident Metals — will have access to the 2014 Silver Maple Leaf later this month, so stay tuned for more details on how you can add this beauty to your stack.
