Key Features:

Super Incuse – In 2021, the Royal Canadian Mint caused a global sensation with the introduction of their revolutionary Super Incuse Mint technology. Through a covert, intricate pre-forming procedure spanning multiple stages, the RCM successfully imprinted the maple design to descend nearly 5mm below the coin’s surface, crafting a profound, canyon-like variance in depth. This measurement represents more than a third of the coin’s overall thickness, allowing ample space to accommodate a 1oz Silver Maple within this remarkable depth.

Reverse Proof Finish – While traditional proof coins boast multiple strikes, sharp designs, and a mix of frosted devices and polished fields, reverse proof coins ingeniously reverse these elements, offering a fresh twist to established designs. This effect, especially potent when paired with a striking super incuse strike, consistently captivates with its unique allure.

Selective Plating – Following the footsteps of the 1oz Silver Super Incuse Maples, the 1 Kilo Silver Maples received precise yellow (24-karat) gold plating selectively applied to specific areas like the maple leaf on the reverse, the King Charles III effigy on the obverse, and the raised rim encircling the design. This meticulous plating creates a striking contrast, setting the stage for the next remarkable feature…

Mapleburst Field Pattern– Uniquely designed for this 4th edition, the RCM artists intricately crafted a distinctive field pattern featuring a burst of small maples radiating from the central designs. This pattern, showcasing a blend of satin and frosted surfaces, complements the contrast of silver against gold and gold against platinum, resulting in a truly remarkable visual composition.

About “NGC 70 FDI”
NGC employs the universally recognized Sheldon grading system, initially introduced in the U.S. during the late 1940s. This grading standard was integrated by NGC upon its establishment in 1987, establishing itself as the benchmark within the industry. Ranging from 1 to 70, this scale succinctly characterizes the condition of a flawless coin, with 70 representing the highest achievable grade, exclusively awarded to coins free of post-production flaws even under 5x magnification by NGC experts.

NGC provides the “First Day of Issue” distinction for specific coins acquired within the first day of release by a mint. NGC will encapsulate these special coins with a maple-themed label showcasing the incuse features of the coin. The paper label features a maple shape that is debossed to mimic the incused effect, enhanced with a striking touch of red foil inlay on the maple design.
