The Royal Canadian Mint first issued the Gold Maple Leaf in 1979 as a 1 oz coin. In the years that followed, the series grew to include several smaller weights, including the 1/10 oz size. This particular weight was among the earliest additions to the lineup. Today, you can find the 1991 Canadian Maple Leaf 1/10 oz Gold Coin available at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
All 1991 Canadian Maple Leaf 1/10 oz Gold Coins at Provident Metals are packaged individually in protective plastic. These coins had a final mintage of 322,000 pieces in 1991. This version also features the second official portrait of Queen Elizabeth II used in the series.
Obverse

History
In November 1982, the Royal Canadian Mint expanded the Gold Maple Leaf Series for the first time. The new fractional-ounce coins included both the 1/4 oz and 1/10 oz versions. Later additions to the series included the 1/2 oz coin in 1986, the 1/20 oz coin in 1993, and the 1 Gram coin introduced in 2014.
