Gold: In 2013, the Mint introduced a new and unique ecurity Feature to confirm the authenticity of its GML coins. Derived from the same award-winning security echnology applied to Canada's $1 and $2 circulation coins, the GML Security Feature consists of a textured maple leaf, micro engraved with laser technology on a small area of the reverse side (Maple Leaf side) of the coin. In the centre of this mark, visible under magnification, is the numeral "14", denoting the coin's year of issue.

Silver: Replacing the bullion finish on earlier coins, the radial lines in the new 2014 SML's field have been precisely machined to within microns on the master tooling to ensure reproducibility from die to die and coin to coin.
