Each 2008 1 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin is presented in a sealed assay card, providing authentication details in both English and French. This coin is a rare and pure example of the Royal Canadian Mint’s expertise, with its .99999 pure gold content setting it apart as one of the purest gold coins available.

Canada’s gold history dates back to the late 18th century, with significant gold rushes in the mid-19th century, such as the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush in British Columbia and the Klondike Gold Rush in Yukon Territory. These events played a vital role in shaping the nation’s development and established Canada’s reputation as a leader in gold refining and production.

The obverse of the 2008 Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This right-profile bust was created by Susanna Blunt in 2003 and is notable for being the only portrait of the Queen used on Canadian coins that does not feature a crown or tiara, marking a distinctive period in her reign.

On the reverse side of 2008 1 oz Gold Maple Leafs, you’ll find a unique depiction of the sugar maple leaf. Unlike the traditional single maple leaf design, this .99999 pure gold coin showcases two maple leaves connected by their stems to a small branch, adding a special touch to this limited release.
