The 1oz Gold Maple Leaf is a very sort after bullion coin all over the world. First introduced in 1979 at a time when the South African Krugerrand was the only other 1oz bullion coin available. Made of very fine gold .9999 which is all mined from Canadian gold mines.
The design of the 1oz gold maple has remained the same since the first year of issue. Featuring the Canadian maple leaf on one side and the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the other side.
The purity of the 1oz gold maple is what makes it stand out from other bullion coins which are on the whole made from standard 24 karat gold. This is achieved by the lack of any alloys been added to the maple which are normally added to a coin such as sovereigns to give them the strength and durability needed to survive in circulation. The plus side to this is it makes the maple a very popular in the far East and India who particularly value this fine gold bullion. The smaller sizes are also very fashionable for making jewellery as the fineness of the gold has a good colour and makes them easy to work.
The consequence of having such a fine coin means extra care is needed when been in possession of or handling gold maples. Primarily designed as a means to own physical gold as an investment. 1oz gold maples were never made to be circulated or handled. Maples will mark very easily if not properly stored, handled and cared for.
1989 is the only year a proof gold maple set was produced to mark the 10th Anniversary of the gold maple. With a low mintage of 6817 and packaged in a maple wood wooden box these proof coins are very collectable.
