This stunning coin has a lustre like no other, including light-refracting radial lines- a testament to the Royal Canadian Mint’s penchant for innovation and design. Enhanced security features such as the Royal Canadian Mint’s patented bullion DNA means that each 1 oz coin contains a unique privy mark with a micro-engraving of the year it was released, which is only visible under magnification. This is all combined with an immaculate maple leaf design, which has endured since its initial release.
A bold, vivid sugar maple leaf, Canada’s national emblem and the ideal metaphor for the great North, is illustrated on the reverse side. The maple leaf is beautiful, resilient, omnipresent throughout the land, and has a diverse range of species. The depiction demonstrates the Royal Canadian Mint’s unapparelled quality, as meticulous attention to detail is paid, from the leaf’s texturing to its unique shape to its veins. Adorning the coin’s field are light-refracting, micro-radial lines, with the privy mark, metal type and weight, and purity all included.
The obverse side features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III for the first time. Since its introduction in 1979, the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf has only ever featured a bust of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Late Majesty is the only monarch that generations of Canadians have known, but her passing in September 2022 means that her son Charles now reigns as King Charles III. The new British monarch is shown here in left-profile relief, a change in orientation from Her Late Majesty’s right-profile portrait. The switch in orientation from one monarch to the next is a British coining tradition that also applies to Canadian coins.
