2024 1 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf (BU)

History

After watching the success of the South African Krugerrand in 1967, the Royal Canadian Mint entered its first coin into the international bullion coin competition in 1979. The Gold Maple Leaf is an important coin. Although first released in 1979, it changed the playing field by becoming the first gold coin to have a purity of .9999 in 1982. That enhancement established the Royal Canadian Mint as a real competitor in this marketplace.

Design

The obverse of this One Troy Ounce gold coin depicts the new portrait of King Charles III, by Canadian artist, Steven Rosati. The new monarch’s portrait first appeared on a Canadian coin on the 2024 1 Ounce Gold Maple Leaf bullion coin.
The obverse bears the portrait of the new King while the reverse of the 20214 Gold Maple Leaf is essentially unchanged and depicts the Canadian national symbol of a Maple Leaf.
The Royal Canadian Mint has led the way in encompassing some new high-technology anti-counterfeiting measures. For example, instead of having open fields the fields on both the obverse and the reverse, both sides display radial lines in the open field areas. That is a major deterrent to counterfeiting. These radial lines create a light-diffracting pattern that is very difficult to mimic.
Additionally, there is a micro-engraved maple leaf privy mark on the reverse, and, under magnification, the last two digits of the year are visible under magnification. The Royal Canadian Mint is trying to make its Maple Leaf coin the least counterfeited coin in the world.
Canadian Maple Leaf coins qualify for inclusion in Precious Metal IRAs.
