Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coins were first issued by the Royal Canadian Mint in 1979. The first issues of the coin included only a 1 oz gold option with .999 pure gold content. Beginning in November 1982, the mint increased gold purity to .9999 pure gold and would later issue fractional weights ranging from 1/2 oz gold to 1/20 oz gold.

Today, the Royal Canadian Mint offers the 40^th Anniversary Canadian Gold Maple Leaf with only one change to its iconic design. The core design elements of the Gold Maple Leaf remain the same year after year, continuing the same trusted design created by Walter Ott in 1979. The only addition for this commemorative 40th-anniversary release are the numbers “4” and “0” over the sugar maple leaf.

On the reverse of 2019 40^th Anniversary Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin is the image of Ott’s sugar maple leaf design. The sugar maple leaf has been a national symbol for the people of Canada dating back to French colonial control in the early 18^th century. The coins in this release all feature the RCM’s latest security measures that include radial lines on both sides of the coin. This reverse face includes the micro-engraved maple leaf privy mark with the date mark “19” in the center.

The obverse of 2019 1 oz 40^th Anniversary Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coins features the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This is the fourth-generation effigy of Her Majesty for Canadian coinage and was created in 2003 by Susanna Blunt.

These 2019 1 oz 40^th Anniversary Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coins are in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The coins are available with individual packaging and in bulk options that include tubes or boxes of 500 coins.
