The Canadian Gold Maple Leaf is without question one of the most coveted coin programs in the world today.

Each of the coins in this 2016 Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Fractional Reverse Proof 4-coin set features a different right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Since her coronation in 1953, the Queen’s effigy has been routinely updated on the obverse of Canadian coinage to reflect her age. Today, she is the longest reigning monarch in the world and the longest reigning ever in British history.
The coins in this 2016 Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Fractional Reverse Proof 4-Coin set include a reverse proof finish, which lends a deeply-mirrored appearance to the design sets and a strong, frosted visualization for the background field.
On the reverse of each Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coin in this set you’ll find the image of the sugar maple leaf. The 1 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf in the set has an enamel finish on the Queen’s initials in the front, as well as the “II” and the inside of her crown that matches the purple regal colors of the Queen’s actual crown.
The obverse of all coins in the 2016 Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Fractional Reverse Proof 4-Coin set include a different right-profile portrait of the Queen. The 1 oz coin has the youngest effigy of the Queen ever used on Canadian coinage, while the smallest coin features a more recent image, though it is not the 2003 design of Susanna Blunt.
Included in this 2016 Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Fractional Reverse Proof 4-Coin set are a 1 oz coin, ¼ oz coin, 1/10 oz coin, and a 1/20 oz coin. Each one is set in its own position inside the high-gloss box. The 1 oz coin has a unique, individual edge numbering to identify the coin’s place in the production run.
