| Additional information |
The SML fractional sets — Small, Medium, Large — were introduced by the Royal Canadian Mint as an entry-level bullion format, deliberately priced to attract collectors priced out of full-ounce silver. The 2023 release carries Elizabeth II's effigy despite her death in September 2022, a circumstance that affects the entire Canadian coinage transition year as the Mint worked through existing approved dies before shifting to Charles III obverses.
