2024 ¼ oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin BU

The Gold Maple Leaf was introduced by the Royal Canadian Mint in 1979 and is one of the earliest gold bullion coins still in production today. At that time, the South African Gold Krugerrand, the only contemporary gold bullion coin in existence, had encountered distribution issues due to widespread international boycott in response to their apartheid-era policies.

Energized by the bull market of the 1970s, a wave of sovereign mints stepped in to fill the demand and thus launched the rebirth of modern bullion production. Initially comprised of .999 fine gold, since 1982 the Gold Maple Leaf has set the bar for investment grade purity, being consistently struck from 99.99% pure gold. The Gold Maple Leaf is extremely popular with investors and is a primary option in the retail gold bullion market.

During the production process, the RCM uses precision-machined dies to strike sharp radial lines on both the obverse and reverse of each bullion coin, leaving it with an exclusive pattern that is distinct to this coin. This anti-counterfeiting security measure makes replication much more difficult.

The Gold Maple Leaf's reverse features a Walter Ott designed maple leaf, the same design still in use today. The maple leaf, a widely recognized national symbol of Canada dating back several centuries, is exquisitely detailed.

The Gold Maple Leaf's obverse side features the all-new regal profile of the recently coronated British monarch, King Charles III, with a now left-facing bust, the government-backed denomination, and year of issue. This marks the first year of issue with King Charles on the ever-popular Gold Maple Leaf series!
