Autumn 1979 saw the release of the world’s first .999 Gold bullion coin which is known as the Gold Maple Leaf coin. The Gold Canadian Maple Leaf coin was the second bullion coin to hit the stage after the Krugerrand. In 1979 the first Gold Maple Leaf coins was issued and it immediately upstaged the Krugerrand with its .999 purity which was unheard of at the time
This highlighted that the 22 carat designation was really a mute point in creating something that was not going to be circulated but rather stored away in a vault or safe, so why not create something that is made of pure Gold in the one ounce variety? To this day .9999 fine coins typically trade at slight premium to 22 carat Gold bullion coins. Canadian mining companies lobbied the Government to make a national coin that used Gold from Canadian Gold mines
The Gold Maple Leaf coin is Canadia’s official Gold bullion coin and remains unique to other bullion coins due to its thickness. The coin is 30mm in diameter which means to contain an ounce of Gold it has to be thicker than other bullion coins. It was also the first 999.9 fine Gold bullion coin ever struck
Founded by the Canadian Government, the Royal Canadian Mint was first setup as a branch of The Royal Mint to bring production closer to the Yukon’s Gold mines in the late 1800’s. Today they are famous for producing the Maple Leaf bullion coins
The Gold Maple is a thicker coin than most of its international peers which appeals to many investors
The coin is struck to show beautiful smooth fields which contrast with the reverse frosted Maple leaf
