Each of the Canadian Maple Leaf Silver Coins available here is whats known as a gilded coin. A gilded coin is a silver bullion specimen with a thin layer of 24-karat gold applied. This application is often limited to a select design element and is done more in the interest of creating visual contrast within the design element than it is to boost the precious metals content of the coin. The layer of gold applied to the coin is incredibly thin.
