The Maple Leaf bullion program has been the Royal Canadian Mint's flagship silver offering since 1988, and the transition from Elizabeth II to Charles III effigies across the line has proceeded methodically through 2023 and 2024. The "Gleaming" finish designation refers to a specific die treatment applied to the fields to produce differential reflectivity without crossing into proof territory — a cost-controlled middle ground that the RCM has refined across several collector sub-series.
At 15.87 g of .9999 fine silver, this sits in the fractional tier rather than the standard one-ounce issue.
