History of the Maple Leaf series
The Gold Maple Leaf was introduced in 1979. Royal Canadian Mint built the series around high fineness and a restrained national motif rather than decorative excess.
The maple leaf is one of Canada's best-known symbols. In the gold bullion segment, Maple Leaf is often compared with Krugerrand, Britannia, American Eagle and Vienna Philharmonic.
Obverse ? portrait of Charles III
The 2025 obverse shows the portrait of King Charles III. The monarch portrait follows Canadian coinage tradition and replaces earlier issues carrying Elizabeth II.
Reverse ? maple leaf and Bullion DNA
The reverse shows Walter Ott's maple leaf. Royal Canadian Mint uses a micro-engraved security mark and Bullion DNA to support authenticity checks in a compatible verification process.
What to check before buying
For Maple Leaf coins, check weight, fineness, year and surface condition. The very high 999.9/1000 fineness means pure gold, but it also requires careful handling.
