Obverse

On the obverse of the 1 Gram Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coins, youll find the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This fourth-generation design, created by Susanna Blunt for the Royal Canadian Mint in 2003, marks a unique moment in Canadian coinage as it shows the Queen without a crown, a first for a royal effigy since the 1930s.

Reverse

The reverse of the coin features the sugar maple leaf, a national symbol of Canada. Walter Ott designed this classic image for the first Gold Maple Leaf coins released in 1979, and it has remained a staple of the series ever since.

History

The Canadian Gold Maple Leaf series was introduced in 1979 as the second-ever gold bullion coin, following the South African Gold Krugerrand. Initially, the series offered only 1 oz gold coins with .999 purity. In November 1982, the Royal Canadian Mint improved the gold content to .9999 purity and added 1/4 oz and 1/10 oz coins to the collection.

The 1 Gram Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coins, which are the smallest in the series, were introduced in 2014. These coins carry the same iconic design and security features as the larger weights in the series, with the exception of the maple leaf privy mark on the reverse.
