The obverse design of the Canadian Silver Maple Leaf coin features an effigy of the reigning British monarch. From the coin's debut in 1988 until 2023, the obverse displayed various portraits of Queen Elizabeth II, reflecting her evolving likeness over the years. Starting in 2024, following the queen's passing, the obverse design transitioned to a depiction of King Charles III, marking a new chapter in the coin's history. Both designs include the monarch's name, the coin's face value, and the year of issue, emphasizing Canada's connection to its royal heritage.
