Canada has a rich history of gold discoveries, refining, and production. Since the founding of the Royal Canadian Mint, Canada has become one of the most respected gold bullion refiners in the world.

On special occasions, RCM produces rare .99999 pure Gold Maple Leafs, the purest gold coins you’ll find. Right now, 2008 1 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coins are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 2008 1 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin available here is a distinctive release from the Royal Canadian Mint that boasts the purest level of gold possible in a coin, with .99999 pure gold content. The coin is housed in a capsule within a sealed assay card. The back of the card features authenticating details about the coin in English and French.
These pure Gold Maple Leafs are just the latest example of Canada’s gold prowess. Gold mining in Canada dates back to the late 18th century, with the first recorded discovery of gold in Nova Scotia in 1824. However, it wasn’t until the mid-19th century that significant gold rushes began to shape the country’s mining industry. The Fraser Canyon Gold Rush in British Columbia in 1858 marked the beginning of a series of gold rushes that would dramatically impact Canada’s development. This was followed by the famous Klondike Gold Rush in Yukon Territory from 1896 to 1899.
Obverse design elements on 2008 Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coins include a bust of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Designed in 2003 by Susanna Blunt, this fourth-generation effigy of Elizabeth II was the final image of Her Majesty used on Canadian coins during her reign. This unique right-profile relief stands out in Elizabeth II’s reign as the only major portrait of her used on coins that lacked a crown or tiara.
Reverse visuals on 2008 1 oz Gold Maple Leaf Coins offer a unique image of the sugar maple leaf. The traditional Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin features a single maple leaf that dominates the field. The design used on this .99999 pure gold coin features two sugar maples with stems that connect to the same small branch.
