1/4 OZ CANADIAN GOLD MAPLE LEAF (IN PLASTIC)

1/4 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin (In Plastic)

NYCBullion proudly presents the 1/4 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin (In Plastic)—a refined, fractional-sized bullion coin from the world-famous Royal Canadian Mint. Struck from .9999 pure gold and weighing 1/4 troy ounce, this coin offers the perfect balance between affordability and premium quality.

Introduced in 1982 as a fractional addition to the original 1 oz Gold Maple Leaf, this coin provides investors and collectors with a more accessible way to own one of the world’s most recognized gold coins. Though light abrasions or handling marks may appear, these coins are in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and retain full intrinsic value.

A Harmony of Culture and Gold

The Canadian Gold Maple Leaf represents one of the most iconic and influential bullion coin programs ever minted. Known for its clean, elegant design and exceptional gold purity, the coin has been a global favorite since its launch in 1979.

The 1/4 oz version, first issued in 1982, continues this tradition of excellence. On the reverse, the coin proudly features a large, detailed maple leaf—Canada’s national symbol—while the obverse highlights the regal presence of Queen Elizabeth II, with the design changing over the decades based on the year of issue.

Coins minted from 2014 onward also include modern security upgrades, such as a laser-engraved micro maple leaf and radial line background, ensuring the coin’s authenticity while maintaining its timeless charm.
