Reverse

The field includes inscriptions of CANADA, 9999, FINE GOLD, and 1 OZ OR PUR.

History

Canadian Maple Leaf Gold Coins were the first modern gold bullion coins to boast .9999 pure gold content. When the series started in 1979, the 1 oz coins had .999 pure gold, but by November 1982, the Royal Canadian Mint had boosted the fineness of the coins to .9999, making the Maple Leaf the first modern 24-karat gold coin.

Ordering

These 1993 Canadian Maple Leaf 1 oz Gold Coins are available to you in plastic flips. The 1993 release had the highest mintage the series would see between 1993 and 1996.
