Description

The Gold Maple Leaf is the first bullion coin to achieve the heightened standard of .9999 pure. Internationally recognized, this coin portrays the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, $50 CAD, and year-date on the obverse and the maple leaf surrounded by its specifications on the reverse.  New in 2015, replacing the bullion finish on earlier coins, the radial lines in the field have been precisely machined to within microns on the master tooling to ensure reproducibility from die to die and coin to coin. The uniqueness of the line width and pitch gives this coin a characteristic look and creates a light diffracting pattern that is specific to this coin. The Royal Canadian Mint’s 1oz Gold Maple Leaf is among the world’s most popular pure gold coins since its introduction in 1979.
