The 1 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf is one of the most popular and purest gold bullion coins of all time.

Encouraged by the success of the 1 oz South African Gold Krugerrand, the Royal Canadian Mint introduced the 1 oz Gold Maple Leaf in 1979 and the coin has struck a chord with international precious metals investors ever since.

The Canadian Gold Maple Leaf is minted from 99.99% pure gold, while the Krugerrand is only 91.67% pure. America’s flagship gold bullion coin, the 1 oz American Gold Eagle, is also minted from 91.67% pure gold.

The 1 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf’s obverse side features a side profile of Queen Elizabeth II and the reverse side depicts a maple leaf, which is Canada’s national symbol.

The Canadian Gold Maple Leaf utilizes impressive, yet subtle security features including micro-engraved security marks, radial lines that create unique light-diffracting patterns, and the Royal Canadian Mint’s proprietary BULLION DNA anti-counterfeiting technology.

1 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leafs are legal tender in Canada and have a CAD$50 face value.

Americans are allowed to hold 1 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coins in their individual retirement accounts or IRAs according to the IRS.

BullionStar ships individual Gold Maple Leafs in protective coin flips, while orders in multiples of 10 coins are shipped in durable mint tubes.

Every bullion portfolio should have some 1 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coins in it!
