Technical Specifications
History and Legacy
Introduced in 1979, the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf revolutionized the industry by offering the highest purity in bullion coins.
The Royal Canadian Mint set a new quality standard by launching the first bullion coin with .9999 (99.99%) purity, surpassing all other investment coins available at that time.
The iconic maple leaf design, Canada's national symbol, has remained virtually unchanged since its introduction, becoming one of the most recognizable symbols in world investment gold.
In 2013, the Royal Canadian Mint added innovative security features, including laser micro-engraving with the year of mintage and precision radial lines that greatly hinder counterfeiting.
The Maple Leaf is especially popular in Asian markets where 24-karat purity is highly valued for cultural and investment reasons.
