Our close friends and neighbors in “the Great White North” will mark the 150th anniversary of the Canadian Confederation in 2017. This is your cue to give close consideration to investing in the Gold Maple Leaf (GML), one of the world’s most popular gold coins. In fact, more than 25 million troy ounces of the GML have been sold since its inception in 1979. The GML was also the first bullion coin to achieve the heightened standard of .9999 purity. The design has remained the same: a classic of simple yet intricate beauty. Canada is deservedly recognized as a world leader in minting technology, including security features that are second to none (more on that below).

This Maple Leaf coin contains 1 troy ounce of 99.99% pure gold. Its face shows the familiar profile of Canada’s nominal head of state, above which is printed her name, QUEEN ELIZABETH II, and below the legal tender value of 50 DOLLARS and the year of mintage 2017. The back features the nation’s iconic maple leaf with its stunningly etched veins and points. CANADA appears over top, the “four nines” of purity 9999 on each side, and FINE GOLD 1 OZ OR PUR around the curve of the bottom. Just below and on the right is a smaller maple leaf with the numeral "17", denoting the coin’s year of issue, embedded in its center. This textured maple leaf, micro-engraved with laser technology, is one of the Mint’s three security features, along with radial lines and bullion DNA anti-counterfeiting technology, a digital mark that matches with its entry in a secure database.The coin’s authenticity can be verified in an instant.
