25 x 1 gram Gold Coin - Canadian Maple Leaf 2023

Maple Leaf

The Canadian Maple Leaf was first issued in 1979 as the official bullion coin of the government of Canada. The Royal Canadian Mint strikes the coin only from gold mined in Canada.

The Maple Leaf was the first bullion coin ever to be struck in gold 999.9/1000 (24 karat). This quality makes it significantly softer than the Krugerrand or American Eagle, and many relate to it as a benchmark for comparison of gold coin qualities.

A maple leaf adorns the coin reverse beside the inscription "Canada", the degree of fineness (9999) and weight (one ounce of gold). The obverse is engraved with a profile of Queen Elizabeth II, together with the face value (50 Canadian Dollars) and the mint year. Of course, the value of the metal is worth many times the face value.
