Gold Maple Leaf series

The Canadian Maple Leaf series was first issued in 1979. Then only the 1 troy ounce was available to investors. A few years later the smaller denominations followed, including this 1/2 troy ounce gold Maple Leaf coin. The Maple Leaf series has since become one of the most popular and globally known series among the gold investment coins. The Maple Leaf is issued as 1 troy ounce, 1/2 troy ounce, 1/4 troy ounce, 1/10 troy ounce and even 1/20 troy ounce gold coin. 

The design of the gold Maple Leafs has remained the same for years except for minor improvements, such as the addition of security features. Since the introduction, the obverse of the coin has been adorned by the Maple Leaf, the national symbol of Canada. A portrait of Queen Elizabeth II adorned the reverse up till 2023.
