The Canadian 24-karat Gold Maple Leaf Coin
The Gold Maple Leaf Coin is one of the 24 karat gold coins that has been in production the longest, with only the Krugerrand having been in production for longer. The Canadian Royal Mint started producing these coins in 1979.
The Gold Maple Leaf Coin is available in a variety of different weights, including 1/20 ounce, 1/10 ounce, 1/4 ounce, 1/2 ounce, and 1 ounce being the most common, although there have been some other sizes issued at various times during the history of the production of this coin.
Although each of the different sizes has a monetary value on it, since these are gold bullion coins meant mainly for investment purposes these values are normally lower than what the coin will sell for. The actual price you would pay to buy one of these coins usually depends on the current price of gold in the market rather than the value marked on the coin. The Gold Maple Leaf Coin is a nice investment for people who want to invest in something they can see and touch. However, due to the 99.99% purity of these coins, you have to be careful handling them as they will easily be marked or scratched if you are not careful. These are some of the purest gold coins in the world, with no country producing purer gold coins than this. As you could guess from the name of the coin, one side has a maple leaf. The other side of the coin features Queen Elizabeth II. The older coins show a younger Queen Elizabeth II, and those minted from 1990 on feature an older Queen Elizabeth II. One of the more rare Gold Maple Leaf Coins is the 25th anniversary edition that was produced in 2004. There were only 10,000 of these coins minted. The maple leaf on this coin is surrounded by a laureate wreath of maple leaves, with 25 years ans written over the single leaf. The one ounce Gold Maple Leaf Coin is the most popular of the different sizes, as these come in tubes of 10 coins each and the smaller sized coins come in mylar sheets, which makes them harder to handle. The one ounce coins also have another advantage over the smaller coins as the premium one is required to pay for these coins is not as high as those paid on the smaller coins, so you are paying less over the price of the gold.
