| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a naturalistic sugar maple twig bearing two serrated, five-lobed maple leaves rendered in fine detail, accompanied by three paired samaras (double-winged fruits) suspended from slender stalks — a design emblematic of Canada's iconic maple leaf motif. The legend FINE SILVER 9999 ARGENT PUR is inscribed along the upper field, with CANADA and the date 2018 appearing in the lower field, along with the privy mark CG denoting the coin's Specimen finish designation. |

| Additional information |
The "five nines" purity standard (.99999) that the Royal Canadian Mint pioneered for its Gold Maple Leaf in 1999 drove a parallel refinement push in silver production, eventually yielding the .9999 fine silver now used across the Maple Leaf bullion series — a fineness that actually complicates handling, since the absence of hardening alloys makes the surfaces extraordinarily susceptible to contact marks and milk spots, a chronic production issue the RCM has never fully resolved.
