Through this BullionMax listing, you can purchase a 1 oz Gold Maple Leaf available from random years of issue. Introduced in 1979, the Gold Maple Leaf has been minted annually as a gold bullion coin. These coins are available with abrasions on the design elements or surfaces.

An abrasion on a coin refers to flaws resulting from light rubbing or scuffing, often caused by contact between coins or other objects. Abrasions may also occur when a coin moves around inside an improper holder or coin drawer, typically appearing on the high parts of the coin and in the open fields of the background.

BullionMax guarantees a 1 oz Gold Maple Leaf coin, but we cannot guarantee the year of issue you’ll receive. Our warehouse team will select your coin based on inventory available when your order is processed for shipment. The year of issue will determine the gold’s purity, with Gold Maple Leafs from 1979-1982 featuring .999 pure gold and those from November 1982 onward having .9999 pure gold content.

The obverse of 1 oz Gold Maple Leaf Coins will feature an effigy of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II or His Majesty King Charles III. For much of the coin’s history (1979-2023), Elizabeth II was depicted on the obverse in one of three different portraits. As of 2024, King Charles III now appears on the obverse of the 1 oz Gold Maple Leaf Coin.

On the reverse of 1 oz Gold Maple Leaf coins is the sugar maple leaf design. Created in 1979 by Walter Ott, this design continues to be used on the reverse of all Canadian Maple Leaf coins.
