The Canadian Gold Maple Leaf is the official bullion coin of our neighbors to the north, Canada. This Canadian gold coin is the most pure gold coin with a gold content of .9999, known as millesimal fineness, with some as pure as .99999 fine gold. This feature makes it a favorite for investors focused on purity. All gold used in the Canadian Maple Leaf is mined in Canada. 

Introduced in 1979 by the Royal Canadian Mint, the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coin became popular as it was the only other coin available besides the South African Gold Krugerrand. The Gold Maple Leaf coin is lighter in color than the Gold American Eagle and South African Gold Krugerrand and shines brilliantly with its high purity.

The elegance of the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf’s design is in its simplicity--with clear open spaces surrounding an intricate five point maple leaf on the reverse and a dedication to Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse. If you are looking for a gold coin that has a higher purity and lower premium than the Gold American Eagle, the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf is the coin for you.

The Gold Maple Leaf coin come in 5 sizes and face values - 1/20 oz, $1; 1/10 oz, $5; 1/4 oz, $10; 1/2 oz, $20; and 1 oz, $50. The Gold Maple Leaf Coins from Canada are also available in tubes of 10 if you are interested in buying larger amounts.
