INCLUDES SERIALIZED CERTIFICATE. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins. Most of these are serialized certifications, meaning that each certificate is given a unique number, starting at 1.

Design:
Your coin features Walter Ott's now-iconic sugar maple leaf design, unchanged since the first Silver MapleLeaf (SML) coin was issued in 1988, and is struck incuse on this special edition. Black rhodium plating fills the field and enhances the natural shine ofthe coin's silver surface, which is only visible on the engraved relief. The reverse includes theengraved words "CANADA" and "FINE SILVER 1 OZ ARGENT PUR", as well as the purity standard of "9999". The black rhodium-plated obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty QueenElizabeth II by Susanna Blunt, also struck incuse on this special edition, along with the engraved face value "20 DOLLARS" and the year "2020".
Did you knowÃ
The 2017 Nocturnal by Nature series was the first black rhodium-plated coins issued by the Royal Canadian Mint.
Rhodium is a rare precious metal that belongs to the platinum group.
Canada's silver bullion coin set new industry standards: it was the first of its kind to be minted in one troy ounce of .9999 pure silver. The annual issue has also introduced some innovative anti-counterfeiting technology such as BULLION DNA ª, which allows a coin's authenticity to be easily verified.
More than 200 million ounces worth of SML bullion coins have been sold since 1988.
