The Canadian Gold Maple Leaf is one of the most recognized gold bullion coins in the world, produced by the Royal Canadian Mint since 1979. Known for its .9999 fine gold content, it was one of the first coins to reach this high level of purity and helped set a standard in the global bullion market. The series is also known for its advanced security features, including detailed radial lines and a micro-engraved laser mark that make counterfeiting difficult. Each coin is paired with MintID technology for an added layer of authentication. Right now, 2026 Canadian Maple Leaf 1 oz Gold Coins in MintID cards are available from Provident Metals.

This portrait was created by Canadian artist Steven Rosati and represents one of the few times a Canadian artist has designed a monarchs effigy for national coinage. Inscriptions include CHARLES III, 50 DOLLARS, and 2026.
