The Canadian Maple Leaf Gold Coin

The Canadian maple leaf coin was first minted in 1979 by the Canadian Government and have since become one of the most popular gold coins among precious metal investors due in part to its high level of purity.

They rival the American Buffalo gold coins in terms of purity which is at .9999. The Canadian Mint introduced the method of minting high purity 24 karat gold coins without the need of alloys which are traditionally used to strengthen the metals structure. The Maple leaf gold bullion coin is a favorite among investors and the coin has become world renown as a highly sought after gold bullion coin.
