1/10 OZ CANADIAN GOLD MAPLE LEAF (IN PLASTIC)

1/10 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin (In Plastic)

NYCBullion proudly offers the 1/10 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin (In Plastic), a compact yet globally recognized gold bullion coin from the esteemed Royal Canadian Mint. Struck from .9999 fine gold and weighing 1/10 troy ounce, this Brilliant Uncirculated coin combines investment-grade quality with a design that celebrates Canadian identity.

First released in 1982 as part of Canada’s expanding Gold Maple Leaf series, this fractional-size coin is perfect for collectors and investors seeking flexible gold ownership. While minor surface imperfections may appear due to handling, each coin retains its full purity, weight, and legal tender status.

A Harmony of Culture and Gold

The Gold Maple Leaf program launched in 1979, quickly rising to global prominence as the first series to offer .9999 fine gold bullion. Before its release, the South African Krugerrand was one of the few gold options available, but geopolitical challenges made it difficult to acquire. The Gold Maple Leaf filled that gap—offering purity, accessibility, and cultural pride.

The 1/10 oz version introduced in 1982 continues this legacy, featuring the beloved Canadian maple leaf with refined detail and an unmistakable raised texture. The obverse displays Queen Elizabeth II, reflecting Canada’s royal heritage and status within the Commonwealth.

Later issues also incorporate advanced security features such as micro-engraved laser marks and radial line finishes, reinforcing the Mint’s reputation for innovation and trust.
