| Reverse description | Central design features the classic Sugar Maple leaf (Acer saccharum) rendered in high relief at the centre of the coin. The leaf is encircled by the principal legend along the periphery. A small maple leaf security feature appears below the central device, with the last two digits of the year laser-engraved within it as an anti-counterfeiting measure. The overall composition follows the standard Royal Canadian Mint bullion series format. |

| Additional information |
The Royal Canadian Mint's 10-kilogram silver issues occupy a peculiar corner of the bullion market — technically legal tender, practically unwieldy, and purchased almost exclusively by institutions and collectors who will never attempt to spend them. This is the third monarch to appear on a coin of this specification; the format was introduced under Elizabeth II and continued without interruption through the accession of Charles III in September 2022, making transitional examples from 2023 and 2024 the ones to watch for collectors focused on the reign change rather than the metal content.
