Each 2024 Reverse Proof Canadian Gold 45th Anniversary Gold Maple Leaf 4-Coin Set comes with a total of four individual Canadian Gold Maple Leafs. This set includes a 1 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/10 oz, and 1/20 oz specimen. All four coins are housed together inside a red display box from the Royal Canadian Mint. These coins are reverse-proof specimens with mirrored design elements and frosted background fields.
When the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf was introduced in 1979, the coins came only in 1 oz gold with .999 fineness. The only other gold options available at the time for private investors was the South African Gold Krugerrand Coin. For this beautiful set, the original effigy of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is found on the obverse.
In the obverse of each 2024 Reverse Proof Canadian Gold Maple Leaf in this set, you will find the right-profile bust of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Depicted at a young age wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara, this right-profile relief was created by Arnold Machin in 1965 as the second-generation effigy of the Queen during her reign. This was, notably, the last bust of Her Late Majesty created by a British artist for Canadian coins.
For the reverse side of 2024 Reverse Proof Gold Maple Leafs, the mint offers a unique sugar maple leaf design. Here, two sugar maple leaves are shown connected by a single stem. The 1 oz coin in this set includes a rose-cut, AAA sapphire on this field of the coin with a teardrop shape. Additionally, the reverse of each coin has the dual dates of 1979 and 2024.
