Debuting in 1979, the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf quickly established itself as one of the longest-running gold bullion coin programs in the world. Its production history is second only to the South African Krugerrand. Initially introduced in a single weight, the series has expanded over time to include six different options issued each year. Of these, the 1 oz coin has remained a steady favorite with both investors and collectors. Right now, 2026 1/4 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Sheets are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 2026 1/4 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Sheet available here contains coins in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. This listing is a bulk offering only, with no individually-packaged coins available here. The sealed plastic sheet has a total of 20 coins from the 2026 1/4 oz Gold Maple Leaf issue, totaling five troy ounces of 24-karat gold in all.
In nature, sugar maple leaves undergo a distinct transformation throughout the growing season. They emerge as bright green foliage in spring and early summer, when their high chlorophyll content masks other pigments and gives them their vivid green color. This green appearance persists through the peak growing months as the leaves drive the tree’s energy production through photosynthesis.
The obverse of the 2026 Canadian Gold Maple Leaf introduces the first Canadian coin portrait of King Charles III. Created by artist Steven Rosati, the left-profile effigy depicts the King without a crown. This design is noteworthy as it represents just the third time a Canadian artist has produced a royal portrait for national coinage.
On the reverse, the 2026 1/4 oz Gold Maple Leaf Coin continues to feature Walter Ott’s well-known sugar maple leaf design. First introduced in 1979, this image has become a defining feature of the Maple Leaf series and has appeared across its Gold, Silver, Platinum, and Palladium issues.
