Canadian Maple Leaf Gold Coin
1 oz Gold • Random Year
Drag to turn the coin
The Canadian Gold Maple Leaf has been issued by the Royal Canadian Mint since 1979, and it is one of the best-known gold bullion coins. Each 1 oz coin holds one troy ounce of gold, and current-era coins are .9999 fine (24 karat). The maple leaf is on one side. The other side carries the effigy of the reigning monarch, so the portrait changes when the monarch or effigy changes, and the date changes every year. Legal tender in Canada with a face value of $50. Year varies by availability.
