1 OZ CANADIAN GOLD MAPLE LEAF

1 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf

The 1 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf is one of the world’s most iconic and trusted gold bullion coins—known for its .9999 fine purity, sleek design, and unmatched quality. Struck by the esteemed Royal Canadian Mint, this coin contains 1 troy ounce of pure gold and is legal tender in Canada with a face value of $50 CAD.

First released in 1979, the Gold Maple Leaf quickly rose to global prominence as one of the purest bullion coins available. With its highly recognizable maple leaf motif and cutting-edge security enhancements, this coin is a favorite among both collectors and serious investors.

A Harmony of Culture and Gold

The Canadian Gold Maple Leaf honors the national identity of Canada through its iconic design—the elegant and powerful maple leaf. Originally minted in .999 fine gold, the Royal Canadian Mint upgraded the coin to .9999 fine gold purity starting in 1982, setting a new global standard for bullion quality.

Throughout its production history, this coin has evolved with modern technology, including the addition of laser micro-engraved security features (from 2014) and radial line finishes (from 2015 onward), reinforcing its integrity and trustworthiness in the global market.

With fractional sizes available (1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/10 oz, and 1/25 oz), the Gold Maple Leaf series provides flexibility for all levels of investment—yet the 1 oz version remains its most celebrated flagship.
