The Silver Maple Leaf's (SML) namesake design perfectly embodies the pride and beauty of Canada, and when enhanced with new engraving techniques and/or technologies-as it is on this showstopper-it also represents our endless spirit of innovation. This is our first ever 5 oz. An elevated take on a treasured classic, this gorgeous showpiece boasts an extraordinary relief height of 3 mm on its reverse, resulting in a more dimensional rendering of the iconic maple leaf than ever before. Behind the scenes, there's a personal connection, too: the relief was sculpted by retired Senior Engraver Susan Taylor, who previously worked under the tutelage of the late Walter Ott, creator of this world-famous leaf portrait. Elevating a classic: The SML, now in ultra-high relief.
The relief was sculpted by retired RCM Senior Engraver Susan Taylor, who worked under the tutelage of the late Walter Ott, RCM Master Engraver and creator of the GML/SML design. Impeccably crafted, this large-sized (65.25 mm) showpiece is a limited work of art-only 1,250 are available to collectors worldwide.
