Canadian Maple Leaf 1 oz Gold Coins are among the best-selling gold coins in the world. Introduced in 1979, only the South African Krugerrand Gold Coin has been around longer than Canadas official gold bullion series. In the 21st century, economic uncertainty and rising gold prices pushed more investors toward gold as a safe haven from rocky markets. Right now, you can buy 2012 Canadian Maple Leaf 1 oz Gold Coins online at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
With your purchase of the 2012 Canadian Maple Leaf 1 oz Gold Coin online in this Provident Metals listing, you will receive a coin that is housed in an individual protective flip. Mintage figures in the Canadian Maple Leaf Gold Series started the 21st century at all-time lows, but the Great Recession would push demand sky high and see the Maple Leaf 1 oz Gold Coins move above one million coins annually on a regular basis.
Obverse
Queen Elizabeth II is on the obverse of 2012 Canadian Maple Leaf Gold Coins. Her Majesty is shown here at the age of 79 in a design that lacks a crown within the portrait, a first on Canadian coins during her reign. This visual was created in 2003 by Susanna Blunt and is just the second effigy of the Queen ever created by a Canadian artist. Inscriptions read ELIZABETH II, 50 DOLLARS, and 2012.
Reverse
In the reverse design, the 2012 Maple Leaf 1 oz Gold Coin features the sugar maple leaf. Designed in 1979 by Walter Ott, this image of the sugar maple leaf captures its natural beauty in front-facing relief with inscriptions that identify the coin. These include CANADA, 9999, FINE GOLD, and 1 OZ OR PUR.
History
Canadian Maple Leaf 1 oz Gold Coins have been available since 1979. Originally issued with .999 fineness, the series has boasted .9999 fineness since November 1982. Demand for Canadian Maple Leaf Gold Coins has ebbed and flowed with time, with the Great Recession from 2008-2010/2011 and the COVID pandemic being the last major spikes in demand that were sustained for a long period of time.
