| Reverse description | Three overlapping sugar maple leaves — the iconic Triple Maple design — are depicted in high relief at the center of the coin, their stems meeting at a common point and the lobed leaves fanning outward in a naturalistic arrangement. The field features a brushed radial-line finish that contrasts with the polished relief of the leaves. The purity mark 9999 appears to the right of the central device, with the designer's initials SW below. The legend CANADA 2025 arcs along the upper periphery, while FINE SILVER 1 OZ ARGENT PUR is inscribed along the lower border. |

| Additional information |
Canada's transition from Elizabeth II to Charles III on bullion coinage was administratively swift but commercially careful — the RCM phased the portrait change across its maple leaf series to avoid disrupting established dealer and investor channels. The "Triple Maple" reverse design, introduced as a security-focused evolution of the standard Maple Leaf, incorporates laser-engraved radial lines and a textured maple leaf privy that complicate counterfeiting, a genuine problem the RCM began addressing aggressively after a wave of sophisticated Chinese-made fakes surfaced in North American secondary markets around 2014.
