The 2012 ½ oz Canadian Gold Maple borrows its famous design from its distinguished predecessors. The obverse or front of the coin is printed with a beautifully detailed profile of Queen Elizabeth II per tradition. She has served as the constitutional monarch of Canada and England for over 60 years which makes hers the second longest reign in England’s monarchy. This certainly ensures her place in history. Collectors should know that the queen was honored with her diamond jubilee birthday celebration in 2012, making the 2012 ½ oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf noteworthy for that reason. The front of the coin is also inscribed with the words Elizabeth II across the top and clearly labeled 20 Dollars 2012 across the bottom. The reverse of the 2012 Gold Maple is expertly detailed with Canada’s symbol, the maple leaf. In 1834, Jacques Viger, the first mayor of Montreal, referred to the mighty maple tree as “the king of the forest” and vigorously spoke in favor its adoption as the nation’s symbol being an appropriate tribute to the strength of her citizens. After that time, the maple leaf was emblazoned on the coats of arms of several provinces, and became the official symbol of Canada after it was added to the flag in 1965. With its naturally artistic five points, the maple leaf has been struck by the Canadian Royal Mint in beautiful detail on every Canadian Gold Maple since its inception. Finally, investors will appreciate that the reverse is clearly labeled 9999 on either side of the maple leaf, and the words ½ OZ OR PUR figure prominently across the bottom. We are pleased to offer this tried-and-true investment in gold bullion to you.
