Design Details

• This depiction is notable for omitting a crown, giving Her Majesty a more modern and personal representation.
• Surrounding inscriptions include “ELIZABETH II,” “5 DOLLARS,” and “2017.”
• Reverse:
• Showcases Walter Ott’s timeless sugar maple leaf design—central to all Silver Maple Leaf coins since 1979.
• To the left of the leaf’s stem is the Canada 150 privy mark, a small maple leaf with the number 150 inside it.
