Canadian Maple Leaf Apocalypse Maple Leaf Gold-Plated 1 oz Silver 2016 Black Ruthenium

Canadian Maple Leaf – Apocalypse Maple Leaf gold-plated 1 oz Silver 2016 Black Ruthenium is a unique collector’s edition based on one of the most recognizable coins in the world – the Maple Leaf. In this rendition, the classic Canadian symbol is presented in a dark, post-apocalyptic style that differs significantly from standard bullion issues.

The coin is made of 1 ounce of pure silver, .9999 fine and is entirely coated with black ruthenium. The design is complemented with 24-karat gold plating and colorized elements, which give the piece a striking contrast and a collector’s character. The coin has a diameter of 38 mm and a face value of 5 Canadian dollars.

The mintage was limited to just 500 pieces, making it a rare and distinctly collectible offering. The coin is delivered in a case along with a certificate of authenticity. The offered specimen is in near-mint condition.

Apocalypse Maple Leaf is designed for collectors seeking unconventional interpretations of classic numismatic motifs—combining the prestige of Canadian silver with a modern, artistic approach to form.

Reverse depicts the Earth in an apocalyptic vision, rendered in a dark, dramatic style, along with the characteristic maple leaf. The inscription CANADA appears at the top, while the silver fineness marks are placed on the sides. At the bottom is the classic inscription FINE SILVER 1 OZ ARGENT PUR. The applied gilding and colorization contrast with the black ruthenium, highlighting the details of the design.

Obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II along with the year of issue 2016 and the denomination inscriptions, in keeping with the conventions of Canadian circulating coins.
