Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Canadian Gold Maple Leaf
In 1982, The Royal Canadian Mint increased the purity of the gold content and introduced the maple leaf in various denominations. The maple leaf was struck in both 1/10th and 1/4 oz in .9999 pure gold. Due to their high purity and affordability, fractional coins became quite popular.
The RCM Bullion DNA technology and precision radial lines that can’t be replicated make the maple leaf the most secure coin. The reverse features a micro engraved privy mark with 2 digits representing the year, alongside the stem.
The proprietary DNA technology scans images encrypted with a string of code and registers them in the mints secured database. With the use of a special device, each coin can be traced back to the exact day it was struck and which die was used.
The 2023 Canadian 1/10 oz maple leaf is struck in .9999 pure gold. It features the 2 dates marking the reign of the late Queen separated by 4 pearls. The pearls represent the four effigies of the Queen that graced Canadian coins over the last four decades.
