In 1979, the Royal Canadian Mint issued the world’s first pure 24k gold bullion coin, the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf. At that point, the only widely available gold bullion coin was the 22k South African Krugerrand. Gold Maple Leaf coins have a fineness of .9999, making them one of the purest gold coins regularly issued in the world. The Royal Canadian Mint’s insistence on using only the finest planchets, or coin blanks, in minting these coins has made the Gold Maple Leaf the standard against which all other 24k gold bullion coins are judged. Coins issued between 1979 and 1982 had a purity of .999.

Because Maple Leafs are pure .9999 gold rather than a harder alloy, they scratch and mark more easily than 22k coins like Eagles or Krugerrands — so our random-year coins may show minor blemishes or scratches, and that is exactly why they sell at a lower premium than perfect current-year pieces. For putting pure gold away at the lowest cost per ounce, random-year Maples are hard to beat. They are also IRA-eligible.

The Canadian Gold Maple Leaf is available in the following denominations: $50, which contains one troy ounce of pure gold and measures 30mm in diameter; $20, which contains one half-ounce of pure gold and measures 25mm in diameter; $10, which contains one quarter-ounce of pure gold and measures 20mm in diameter; $5, which contains one tenth-ounce of pure gold and measures 16mm in diameter; and, finally, $1, which contains one twentieth-ounce of pure gold and measures 14mm in diameter. Each coin pairs the sugar maple leaf, the national symbol of Canada, on the reverse with the reigning British monarch on the obverse — Queen Elizabeth II on issues through 2023, and King Charles III beginning in 2024. Gold Maple Leaf coins are traded around the world and their purity and weight are guaranteed by the Canadian Government.
