The 1 oz Canadian Maple Leaf Gold Coin is one of the world's most popular gold bullion coins. This high quality gold coin was first issued in 1979. Since that time, over 25 million ounces have been sold worldwide.
The Royal Canadian Mint excels in high purity bullion coins, and the Gold Canadian Maple Leaf Coin was the first gold coin ever to be minted at .9999 fineness (99.99% pure gold). Like the American Gold Eagle Coin, the Canadian Gold Maple Coin is purchased more frequently than many other modern gold bullion coins, particularly in North America.
The Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin's design has the universally recognized symbol of Canada, the maple leaf, on the reverse side along with the gold bullion coin's purity and weight. Queen Elizabeth II appears on the obverse side surface with the gold bullion coin's face value and year of issue.
