The Royal Canadian Mint first introduced the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Series in 1979 as a response to the South African Krugerrand’s dominance in the global bullion market. At the time, many nations were boycotting South African products due to apartheid, creating an opportunity for a new gold bullion coin. Right now, 2000 1 oz Fireworks Privy Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coins are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 2000 1 oz Fireworks Privy Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin comes with a protective plastic flip. The Royal Canadian Mint has been known to use the Gold Maple Leaf and Silver Maple Leaf coins as vehicles for distinctive issues. In this case, the coin includes a fireworks privy to celebrate one of the most iconic features of any cultural celebration.
The history of fireworks dates back to 7th century China, where alchemists accidentally created them while searching for an elixir of immortality. By mixing saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal, they discovered the explosive properties of gunpowder. Initially used for military purposes, fireworks evolved into ceremonial and celebratory displays during the Tang Dynasty.
The obverse of 2000 Fireworks Privy Canadian Gold Maple Leafs comes with a bust of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty is shown here in the third-generation portrait by Dora de Pedery-Hunt. In this bust, Elizabeth II is shown in right-profile relief and wears the George IV State Diadem Crown.
On the reverse of 2000 1 oz Fireworks Gold Maple Leaf Coin, you’ll find Walter Ott’s original 1979 depiction of the sugar maple leaf. Included on this side is the fireworks privy with several fireworks blasts in the oval-shaped privy along with the year 2000. This privy celebrated the start of the 21st century.
