The Canadian Gold Maple Leaf was first introduced in 1979 to meet the demand for gold bullion coins following the international embargo on South African Krugerrands stemming from that nation’s persistent support of its apartheid system.
Today, Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coins are among the hottest sellers in global markets. The new 2015 1 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf features a radial-line design on the background of the reverse face. Precisely machined at the RCM, it creates a light diffracting pattern that makes counterfeiting exceptionally difficult. There is also a micro-engraved maple leaf below the primary design set that shows the year of minting “15” under magnification.
On the reverse side of the 2015 1 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf BU, you’ll find the standard image of a sugar maple leaf, along with the enhanced security features mentioned above. The word “Canada” is engraved above, the purity of the coin on either side of the design, and the metal content and weight of the coin below.
The obverse features Queen Elizabeth II’s right-profile portrait, as designed in 2003 by Susanna Blunt. The Queen’s effigy is surrounded by her name above, and the face value and year of minting blow.
The Royal Canadian Mint was founded in 1908 to help process the newly discovered precious metals of the Yukon Territories. RCM is one of the world’s leading bullion brands, and operates facilities in both Ottawa and Winnipeg.
