Maple Leaf Gold – The Canadian Coin Icon

About the Maple Leaf Gold

The Maple Leaf Gold was first minted by the Royal Canadian Mint in 1979 and is one of the oldest gold bullion coins in the world. After the Krugerrand, it is the most widely circulated gold coin globally. In terms of mintage numbers, it even surpassed the Krugerrand. Since 1988, the queen of coins has also been available in silver and platinum editions. In 2005, the popular bullion coin was further expanded to include palladium.

The Design and Special Features of the Maple Leaf Gold

The design of the Maple Leaf Gold is simple and elegant. The obverse features a maple leaf, symbolizing the Canadian national flag and giving the Maple Leaf Gold coin its name. The reverse, like all Commonwealth coins, displays a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, which was continuously updated to reflect her current appearance. Following her passing in 2022, the reverse has featured the portrait of King Charles III since 2024.

Since 2013, the 1 oz Maple Leaf Gold coin has included an additional optical security feature—a smaller maple leaf containing the last two digits of the minting year. The inscriptions are in English and French, Canada’s two official languages.

High-Quality Standards and Purity of the Gold Maple Leaf

The Maple Leaf Gold is made of pure gold, with a fineness of 999.9. Its mint, the Royal Canadian Mint, is renowned for the highest quality standards and extensive expertise, reflected in both the coin’s purity and sophisticated design. Investors trust in this quality, making the Maple Leaf Gold a stable long-term investment.

The Gold Maple Leaf as an Investment

With its exceptionally high fineness of 999.9, the Maple Leaf Gold is not only a popular investment product but also a symbol of reliability and an excellent store of value in uncertain times. Its purity and worldwide recognition make it a sought-after choice for investors. The Maple Leaf Gold offers high flexibility due to its variety of denominations and availability in silver, platinum, and palladium.

Investment Value and Denominations of the Maple Leaf Gold

Originally, the Gold Maple Leaf was produced only in a 1 oz version with a face value of 50 Canadian dollars. Over the years, the popular bullion coin was expanded to include smaller denominations, such as 1/20 oz, 1/10 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/2 oz. In 1994, a special edition in 1/15 oz was also issued.

Preserving Value Through Proper Care and Storage

To maintain the value of your Maple Leaf Gold over time, careful storage is essential. We recommend storing the queen of coins in a dry environment and away from chemical substances. This protects the Maple Leaf Gold from moisture damage or chemical exposure. Our specialized coin capsules and holders provide additional protection against external damage.

To ensure the long-term brilliance of your coin, regular cleaning is advisable. We recommend using appropriate cleaning products, such as a coin cleaning bath, which gently removes dirt and deposits without damaging the surface. To avoid fingerprints on your investment products, handling them with suitable coin gloves is also recommended.
