First issued in 1979 by the Royal Canadian Mint, the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Series was developed to provide a bullion alternative to the South African Krugerrand, especially amid global boycotts of South African products at the time. Now, 1986 1/2 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coins are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
On the obverse of 1986 1/2 oz Gold Maple Leaf Coins, Queen Elizabeth II’s second-generation portrait designed by Arnold Machin features on the coin. This iconic portrait of the Queen captures Her Majesty in right-profile relief at the age of 39, offering a glimpse of the early years of her reign.
The reverse side of the 1986 Canadian Gold Maple Leaf features Walter Ott’s sugar maple leaf design, emblematic of Canadian pride and natural beauty. This distinctive leaf has appeared on all Gold Maple Leaf coins since the series began, paying tribute to Canada’s national symbol.
The sugar maple leaf design featured on the coin has been Canada’s most recognizable national symbol since the 18th century. The distinctive leaf, with its eleven points and intricate vein pattern, was officially adopted as part of Canada’s flag in 1965. The design used on the Gold Maple Leaf series is based on a stylized version that emphasizes the leaf’s symmetry and natural beauty, making it instantly recognizable worldwide.
These 1986 1/2 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coins are offered in protective plastic. The 1986 date marked the first release of the 1/2 oz Gold Maple Leaf Coin. The series started in 1979 with 1 oz gold and first expanded in 1982 with the introduction of 1/4 oz and 1/10 oz gold coins.
