1/2 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf (in plastic)

NYCBullion is pleased to offer the 1/2 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin (Random Year, In Plastic)—a striking blend of artistry, purity, and history. Struck by the Royal Canadian Mint from .9999 fine gold, this coin contains 1/2 troy ounce of 24-karat gold and carries a legal tender face value of $20 CAD.

Part of one of the most admired gold coin series in the world, the 1/2 oz Gold Maple Leaf is a smart choice for investors seeking fractional gold and collectors drawn to its elegant yet simple Canadian design. Though minor imperfections may be present due to normal handling and storage, these Brilliant Uncirculated coins retain their full intrinsic and investment value.

A Harmony of Culture and Gold

Released in 1986, the 1/2 oz Gold Maple Leaf followed the monumental success of its 1 oz counterpart. With a design anchored in Canadian heritage and modernized by world-class minting techniques, this coin remains a benchmark in fractional gold bullion.

The maple leaf—Canada’s most iconic national symbol—is beautifully rendered on the reverse, while the obverse features one of three regal portraits of Queen Elizabeth II, depending on the year of mintage. With later issues featuring advanced security details such as radial lines and micro-engraved laser marks, the coin blends traditional aesthetics with modern protection.

Whether you’re stacking gold in smaller denominations or adding diversity to a collection, this half-ounce classic delivers both value and elegance.
