| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed, classically styled depiction of a red maple leaf (Acer rubrum), rendered with naturalistic veining and botanical precision against a polished field. The dual dates 1988 2023 appear prominently, commemorating the 35th anniversary of the original Silver Maple Leaf bullion series first issued in 1988. The legend CANADA arcs along the upper periphery, while the purity and metal designations 9999 FINE SILVER 1⁄2 OZ ARGENT PUR and the mint mark MC are inscribed in the lower portion of the reverse. |

| Additional information |
The SML (Small-Medium-Large) fractional sets were introduced by the Royal Canadian Mint as a collector-oriented format pairing matched designs across three coin sizes, allowing buyers to assemble thematic trios rather than single pieces. This particular issue carries Elizabeth II's effigy despite her death in September 2022 — the RCM had already committed to 2023-dated production runs before the transition to Charles III obverses was fully implemented across all product lines.
