About
Bring fall colours to your collection with this 5-oz. Ultra High Relief (UHR) SML, now with rose gold plating.
Canada is a four-season nation known for its year-round beauty, but nature’s ever-shifting palette peaks in the fall, turning our landscapes into a showstopping canopy of colour. This is when the diversity of our vast forests is on full display, with each tree species making a unique contribution to the woodland landscapes that are vital not only to our natural heritage, but to our very identity as Canadians.
An expression of pride for these incredible landscapes, the Heart of the Forest pulsating field pattern returns in 2025, transporting the viewer into the heart of a misty forest on the reverse of this 5-oz. coin—the largest (65 mm) of our 2025 Ultra-High Relief (UHR) Silver Maple Leaf (SML) and Gold Maple Leaf (GML) coins. The trees fall in and out of view behind the maple leaf struck in Ultra-High Relief (UHR) and highlighted by rose gold plating, which stands in for red, the boldest of Canada’s fall hues and official colours.
A triple-tech design: UHR, rose gold plating, and a pulsating pattern.
Special features
- A celebration of fall. New for 2025, rose gold plating joins the list of engraving technologies that come together beautifully on this coin, where the blushing hue alludes to Canada’s red fall foliage.
- Your 2025 UHR SML. A hit with collectors since the first issue in 2022, the Ultra-High Relief (UHR) Silver Maple Leaf (SML) returns for 2025! This collectible is crafted in 5 oz. of 99.99% pure silver, and with a diameter of 65 mm, it is the largest of the 2025 UHR SML/GML coins.
- Elevating art. The SML’s iconic leaf features a peak relief height of 1.4 mm, which is higher than the typical 5-oz. SML.
- Enhanced laser engraving: The Heart of the Forest pulsating effect is produced using an array of microscopic cubes that are positioned in such a way that they reflect light back to the viewer, creating the illusion of a shifting and never-ending view. This novel effect was achieved on the master tooling by using advanced laser engraving technology. Traditional engraving is no longer limited to millimetres—it is now possible to achieve engraved details as small as 0.02 mm.
- The popular choice. The SML is one of our most popular annual offerings and it tends to sell out quickly. Only 1,850 5-oz. coins are available to collectors worldwide.
- Includes serialized certificate. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
- No GST/HST.
Packaging
Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a black Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.

A nod to Canada’s red fall foliage, your coin’s reverse features a selectively rose gold-plated version of Walter Ott’s Silver Maple Leaf (SML) bullion design, struck in Ultra-High Relief and set against a Heart of the Forest pulsating pattern that showcases Canada’s vast forests. This pattern allows for a unique light play that, when tilted, creates the illusion of an endless forest shrouded in mist, with tall conifers seemingly falling in and out of view. The words “CANADA”, “FINE SILVER 5 OZ ARGENT PUR” and the purity standard of “9999” are also engraved on the reverse. The obverse features the rose gold-plated effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
