2012 1/4 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin

As the official gold coin of Canada, we are proud to offer our gold bullion customers the ¼ oz 2012 Canadian Gold Maple Leaf crafted from 99.99% pure gold. The Canadian Gold Maple is struck from some of the purest gold of all coins in the world because, unlike many other gold coins, other alloys aren’t added to the Canadian Gold Maple. This makes the Canadian Gold Maple the coin by which all other gold coins must be measured. Originally struck in 1979 by the Canadian Royal Mint, it became hugely successful owing to both its 24-karat purity and its exceptionally fine craftsmanship. The Canadian Gold Maple is prized by bullion investors and collectors alike because of both its purity and the fact that it was never designed for circulation, with the coins tending to retain their mint condition. Though it is legal tender in Canada, its value in gold far outweighs the coin’s stated face value 10 dollars. In addition to this beautiful 1/4-ounce coin, investors will appreciate the variety of purchasing options with the coin available in weights of 1/10 ounce, ½ ounce, and 1 ounce, as well. Your coins will arrive in unciruclated, mint condition, and you might also choose to collect all four sizes.

The ¼ oz 2012 Canadian Gold Maple Leaf borrows its world-famous design from its very distinguished predecessors. A beautifully detailed bust of Queen Elizabeth II graces the front of the coin 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 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 10 Dollars 2012 across the bottom. The reverse of the 2012 Gold Maple is expertly detailed with Canada’s symbol, the maple leaf. Jacques Viger, the first mayor of Montreal, referred to the mighty maple tree as “the king of the forest,” and in 1834 he spoke in favor its adoption as the nation’s symbol. He believed that the strength and dominance of the maple tree was a fitting tribute to the strength of Canada’s citizens. The naturally artistic maple leaf with its unique, five pointed silhouette was later emblazoned on the coat of arms of several Canadian provinces. In 1965, it became the official Canadian symbol after it was added to the nation’s flag. The maple leaf has continued to grace the Canadian Gold Maple since its first introduction. The reverse is also clearly labeled 9999 on either side of the maple leaf, and the words ¼ OZ OR PUR are inscribed clearly across the bottom. We could not be more pleased to offer this fine investment in gold bullion to you.
