| Reverse description | Incuse design featuring a large, highly detailed sugar maple leaf (Acer saccharum) dominating the rhodium-plated field, rendered with naturalistic vein and lobe detail in polished silver relief. The legend CANADA arcs along the upper rim. The fineness marks 9999 appear to the left and right of the leaf's stem in the lower field, flanking the inscription FINE SILVER 3 OZ ARGENT PUR along the lower arc, attesting to the coin's three-troy-ounce, .9999 fine silver content. |

| Additional information |
The Incuse Maple Leaf series inverted a long-standing design convention: where the standard Maple Leaf carries its central motif in relief, the incuse version presses it into the field. The rhodium plating — applied selectively to the recessed areas — exploits that depth contrast in a way that straight silver striking cannot achieve. Rhodium, a platinum-group metal, also resists the toning and micro-abrasion that plague high-purity .9999 silver in handling.
The 2020 issue retains the privy mark security feature first introduced on bullion Maple Leafs in 2013 following documented counterfeiting of the standard series out of China.
