| Reverse description | A highly detailed, high-relief depiction of three maple leaves in the classic symmetrical arrangement that has adorned Canada's one-cent circulation coinage since 1937, designed by Konrad Wachelko. The leaves are rendered with exceptional naturalistic detail, showcasing the fine craftsmanship achievable in .9999 fine silver at kilogram scale. The upper portion of the field bears the country name CANADA, while the lower portion carries the purity and weight inscriptions. The design pays direct homage to the iconic maple leaf motif of the cent, celebrating its enduring place in Canadian numismatic heritage. |

| Additional information |
The "Maple Leaf Forever" kilo was part of the Royal Canadian Mint's push into the ultra-fine silver market following the success of its .9999 fine bullion program — a purity standard the RCM pioneered and that competitors were slow to match. At one kilogram and struck to specimen standards, these were never intended to circulate; the $250 face value is purely nominal, the coin's silver melt value alone dwarfing it many times over.
Mintage was tightly limited, and the RCM released this through its collector subscription program rather than open market channels.
