The 2000s saw depressed demand for gold bullion. Much like the 1990s saw lower demand as the global economy expanded and surged, the 2000s saw lower demand for gold and silver through the first several years of the decade. Though mintages rebounded by the mid-2000s from its all-time low in 2000, it would take the Great Recession to push mintages back above 1 million annually. Today, 2006 1 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coins are available to you online at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
After the Y2K crisis in the late 1990s helped push demand for Gold Maple Leafs back upward, the market for precious metals cooled in the 2000s. When the fears of the impact of Y2K on computer systems around the world proved unfounded, economies began to expand and grow again, resulting in decreasing demand for precious metals in the first half of the 2000s.
All of the 2006 1 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coins available here at JM Bullion come with individual plastic flips. The mintage of 209,937 coins in 2006 was similar to the average mintages from the 1990s when demand for the coins was lower, but it marked a significant improvement over the 2000 release that hit an all-time low of just 86,375 coins. It wasn’t until 2008 that demand for Gold Maple Leaf Coins surged again with the onset of the Great Recession.
On the obverse of 2006 Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coins, you will find the image of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty is shown here in right-profile relief in the fourth-generation effigy from Susanna Blunt. Just the second design on Canadian coins to come from a Canadian artist, this design is the first Canadian portrait of Her Majesty’s reign to lack a crown.
The reverse side of the 2006 1 oz Gold Maple Leaf Coin comes with an image of the sugar maple leaf. In this design, the natural beauty of the maple leaf is captured in front-facing relief. This design was created in 1979 by Walter Ott and has featured on all of the coins released in the Canadian Maple Leaf Series.
