First minted in 1979, the Canadian Maple Leaf 1 oz Gold Coin is renowned for its outstanding combination of craftsmanship, purity, and design. It is the second gold bullion coin to dominate the global gold market and infiltrate the private investment sector.

Obverse

The first Canadian to ever design the obverse of the Canadian Maple Leaf 1 oz Gold Coin is the one and only, Dora de Pedery-Hunt who is responsible for the third-generation effigy of Queen Elizabeth 11. She is depicted in a right-profile view with dazzling pears and a regal headpiece fit for her status as the leader of Great Britain. The headpiece in question is referred to as the Diamond Diadem.

Reverse

The reverse of this .9999 pure gold coin stands as a numismatic tribute to the Royal Canadian Mint’s iconic Gold Maple Leaf bullion coin. Unchanged since its debut in 1979, the single maple leaf design is engraved in outstanding detail to give it a life-like quality, and includes such textural details as the deeply etched veins that run through each of the leaf’s lobes. There’s an unmistakable shine to the reverse, thanks to the light-diffracting wave pattern that fills the entirety of the field.
