2018 Canadian Maple Leaf Gold Coin 1oz

The 2018 Canadian Maple Leaf 1oz gold coin.

The 1oz Canadian Maple Leaf is the official bullion gold coin of Canada. These 24-carat pure gold coins are perfect for investors who prefer the finest gold bullion for investment or collection purposes.

The reverse of the coin states CANADA in large, spaced letters, with the 9999 purity rating appearing either side of the Maple leaf – Canada's national symbol. Below the leaf, the coin reads FINE GOLD 1 OZ OR PUR – Or Pur being the French for Fine Gold. A smaller Maple leaf appears just below the main leaf, which is a security detailing from the Canadian Mint to deter forgeries.

The obverse side bears a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, as created by Susanna Blunt. This side of the coin states the Queen's name at the top and 50 Dollars 2018 at the bottom. Both sides of the coin feature a special light diffracting pattern, which like the small Maple leaf is another security measure to deter duplication.

This 1 Ounce fine gold Maple Leaf coin is technically legal tender in Canada and as such has a face value of $50.
