Prior Years Canadian Maple Leaf Gold Coin 1/2oz

Description

Guaranteed by the Government of Canada and traded in world markets since 1979, gold Canadian Maple Leaf coins have become some of the most desirable bullion coins in the world today.

Pure 999.9% Pure Gold

The Royal Canadian Mint pioneered the concept of minting a gold coin without the need for a strengthening alloy in order to produce the gold Maple Leaf in such high purity. Such purity proved to be extremely popular with collectors and investors worldwide.

Maple Leaf Design

The design of the Maple Leaf has been almost unchanged since the day it was launched.

Queen Elizabeth II appears on the obverse side of the coin while the reverse depicts a single Canadian Maple Leaf which also states the gold purity of the coin in both English and French, the national languages of Canada.

Canadian Legal Tender

The Canadian Royal Mint first struck the gold Maple Leaf coin in 1979 and since then it is the official gold bullion of Canada and a legal tender.
