Gold Maple Leaf Coin Prices

Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coin prices are based on the world’s fluctuating gold spot price.

When physical gold supplies cannot properly meet bullion investor demand, the premiums or prices per Gold Maple Leaf coin over the gold spot price can increase sharply (e.g. 2008 Financial Crisis gold coin shortage).

These official Canadian 24k gold coins also have low legal tender face values (compared to their precious metal market price). This helps assure these .9999 fine gold coins will not actively circulate and compete with Canada’s current fiat currency, the Canadian dollar.

Higher Gold Coin Prices when Buying

In terms of overall sales volumes, Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coins are some of the most popular 24k gold coins currently minted by a government mint. These official Canadian gold coins also demand some of the gold bullion industry’s highest bid prices (the price at which a gold bullion coin dealer is buying this 1 oz gold coins back at).

In general, gold dealers like Kitco Metals pay above the fluctuating gold spot price when buying Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coins back from individual investors.

Higher Gold Coin Prices when Selling

Canadian Maple Leaf 1 oz gold coins demand some of the highest gold coin prices when selling them compared to other competing government gold coins (e.g. South African Gold Krugerrand coins or Austrian Gold Philharmonic coins).

In summation, a Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coin’s price per ounce will usually be both slightly higher when (1) buying and (2) selling them than compared to other less popular gold coin prices or gold bullion bars.

Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin Design

The Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coin’s front features the familiar right-profile portrait of Queen ELIZABETH II. Her Majesty’s effigy is accompanied by explicit engravings of her name, the year of coin mintage, and the $50 CAD legal tender face value of this .9999 fine 1 oz gold coin.

The backside of a Gold Canadian Maple Leaf coin features the iconic Canadian Maple Leaf as well as the explicit stamping of ‘9999 FINE GOLD 1 OZ OR PUR 9999’ (in English and French respectively).

Anti-Counterfeit Gold Coin Design Features

In 2013, the Royal Canadian Mint introduced micro laser engravings on their 24k Gold Maple Leaf coins. On the obverse or back of the bullion Gold Maple Leaf coins you can now find a miniature micro-engraved maple leaf below the larger maple leaf. With magnification one can better see struck in the center of this mini maple leaf mark, a two-digit number illustrating the coin’s 21st Century year of issue.

From 2015 onward, the Canadian Mint also added micro radial lines to the backgrounds of both sides of this official Gold Maple Leaf coin.

The Royal Canadian Mint also recently introduced their unique Bullion DNA Anti-Counterfeiting Technology to combat fake gold and counterfeit gold coins.

The Bullion DNA program at the Canadian Mint makes sure every Gold Maple Leaf coin is engraved with a textured maple leaf mark. This mark is then micro-engraved with laser technology. This micro-engraving is then scanned and recorded at the Canadian Mint. Investors can then use the Mints Bullion DNA reading product to scan their Gold Maple Leaf coin mark. This scanning will compare the original gold coin’s mark scanned in the Mint’s database to let the user know if the gold coin is indeed authentic or not.

All these unique bullion industry security features make Gold Maple leaf coins some of the best gold coins to buy for investors concerned about getting real physical gold and not counterfeit or fake gold items.
