| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold naturalistic composition of three large maple leaves — Canada's national emblem — arranged in a overlapping cluster occupying the majority of the coin's field. The two foreground leaves are rendered with selective gold plating, highlighting their deeply veined surfaces in warm relief, while the third leaf in the background remains in brilliant fine silver. The engraver's initials AN appear discretely in the lower right field. The legend CANADA arcs across the upper rim, with the date 2014 and fineness mark 9999 flanking the central design at mid-field, and the bilingual inscription FINE SILVER 1 OZ ARGENT PUR curves along the lower rim. |

| Additional information |
The SML (Small, Medium, Large) fractional sets were a Royal Canadian Mint marketing format pairing a 1 oz coin with fractional siblings — a structure that generated substantial collector revenue through set-completion incentives rather than any historical or monetary imperative. This particular piece carries selective gold plating applied at the mint, a finishing technique the RCM began deploying aggressively in the early 2010s as premium-tier differentiation within its bullion-adjacent collector lines.
Struck in .9999 fine silver — the RCM's house standard by this date — rather than the more common .999 used by most sovereign mints at the time.
