About the 1 oz Gold Maple Leaf
The reverse shows the sugar maple leaf, Canada's national symbol. Modern Maple Leafs carry security features: fine radial lines across the surface and a tiny micro-engraved maple leaf that changes as the coin is tilted. The coin measures 30 mm across and has a face value of 50 Canadian dollars.
One-ounce gold coins from national mints are the most widely recognized form of investment gold. The issuing mint stands behind each coin's weight and purity, so the 1 oz Gold Maple Leaf is easy to sell to bullion dealers around the world, and its price follows the gold spot price closely, with a modest premium for minting.

Frequently asked questions
How pure is the Gold Maple Leaf?
The Gold Maple Leaf is 999.9 fine, or 24 karat, and has been made to that standard since 1982. Each coin contains one troy ounce of gold.
Does the Gold Maple Leaf have a face value?
Yes. It is legal tender in Canada with a face value of 50 Canadian dollars. The gold it contains is worth many times that amount.
What security features does the Maple Leaf have?
Modern Gold Maple Leafs have fine radial lines across the surface and a small micro-engraved maple leaf in the design. Both are difficult to copy and help dealers check that a coin is genuine.
Why can Maple Leafs show small marks?
Pure 24-karat gold is soft, so Maple Leafs can pick up light marks from handling and packing. These marks are cosmetic. They don't change the gold content, which is what determines a bullion coin's value.
