Maple Leaf Gold

By Sienna Nalin


One of the most sought after coins is the Maple Leaf that is pure gold. That already tells you why collectors are all about making this coin a part of their collection. If you ever have the money and the chance to buy one, I say go ahead and buy it because it will be the best investment you could ever make with it being pure gold.

The Maple Leaf minted in 1979, is a very popular coin. This coin is the official bullion for the Canadian government. You can thank the Canadian Royal Mint for that. This coin is so popular among gold investors that it is no longer in circulation. This coin has now become a collector's item that people search for in order to buy.

There is no alloy used in the manufacturing of one Maple Leaf 1 oz gold coin therefore it has a purity of 24 carats or otherwise said, a 99.99% fineness. This Canadian coin weighs 1 troy ounce of pure gold or 31.10 grams of gold. The Maple Leaf 1 oz gold coin can be considered a pioneer for bullion gold coins together with the South African Krugerrand, which was the first one issued. However, the Canadian Maple Leaf was the first bullion coin with 99.99% purity.

The head side of the Maple Leaf 1 oz gold coin illustrates a portrait facing right of Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain. It is an engraver realized by Arnold Machin and it has changed as Her Majesty aged. The inscriptions are: "ELIZABETH II", the face value "50 DOLLARS" and the minting year "2012". The reverse of the Maple Leaf 1 oz gold coin shows a single beautifully designed maple leaf, which is a Canadian symbol and has transformed this coin into one of the most beloved ones. At the top of the coin is engraved the issuing country "CANADA" and other two inscriptions are present: "9999 FINE GOLD" and "1 OZ OR PUR 9999".

This coin is an incredible coin with an incredible price. With this coin being pure gold and weighing one ounce its price is the gold spot price. This coin also has a premium. With such demand for this coin, that means that price for it will keep going up and up making it worth more. So if you do have one, your coin becomes more profitable with more people wanting one.
