First issued in 1979, the Gold Maple Leaf (GML) bullion coin is highly valued by collectors and investors worldwide for its outstanding combination of superior craftsmanship, purity and design. Micro-engraved using laser technology, the recurring number “150” and a maple leaf shape form a light-diffracting pattern that adds an alluring shine to the reverse—just like the enhanced security features found on the bullion coin.
This coin is crafted in the Royal Canadian Mint’s exacting standard of 99.999% pure gold, the highest standard of pure gold available in the world, and hand polished to perfection. It stands as a numismatic tribute to the Royal Canadian Mint’s iconic Gold Maple Leaf (GML) bullion coin. Unchanged since its debut in 1979, the single maple leaf design is engraved in outstanding detail to give it a life-like quality, and includes suchtextural details as the deeply etched veins that run through each of the leaf’s lobes. There’s an unmistakable shine to the reverse, thanks to the light-diffracting wave pattern that fills the entirety of the field. Micro-engraved with laser technology, the recurring number “150” and the maple leaf add a commemorative element that celebrates the 150th anniversary of Confederation, while echoing the cutting-edge security features found on the bullion coin.
