About the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coins

The Canadian Maple Leaf is one of the world's most popular coin programs. It is the official bullion coin series of the Royal Canadian Mint and the nation of Canadian. First introduced in 1979, the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coins were the first in the world to compete with the South African Krugerrand in terms of gold bullion demand. Prior to the release of the Gold Canadian Maple Leaf no other coin beside the Krugerrand had ever been offered strictly for investment purposes.

The obverse of all Canadian Gold Maple Leafs feature the right-profile portrait sculpture of Queen Elizabeth II. Three different incarnations of Her Majesty's profile have appeared over the years. These include the following:

• 1979 to 1989 - The image of a 39-year-old Queen Elizabeth II.
• 1990 to 2004 - A depiction of Queen Elizabeth II at 64 years of age.
• 2005 to Present - Susanna Blunt's depiction of Her Majesty at the age of 79.

The reverse of all Canadian Maple Leaf coins features the image of the sugar maple leaf. Used on the reverse since the introduction of the gold version in 1979, this image has never changed. The only additions have been security measures, notably radial lines and a microscopic maple leaf privy.
