The 2023 Gold Maple Leaf shines as both a wise investment and classically Canadian collectible. This year’s release marks a milestone for this iconic gold coin – the 44th anniversary of the coin series, first launched by the Royal Canadian Mint in 1979. This edition also includes a special purpose in honoring the late Queen Elizabeth II, making this a historic entry for this coin’s saga.
Highlights:
- Contains 1 oz. of .9999 fine Gold.
- Quantities of 10 are packaged in mint tubes. All other quantities will arrive in protective sleeves.
- The beautiful micro-engraving of radial lines creates a higher level of anti-counterfeiting measures.
- Obverse: Displays an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II from artist Susanna Blunt featuring the 79-year-old queen.
- Reverse: Displays a large maple leaf, a widely known Canadian symbol, with the coin’s weight and purity. It also displays RCM’s micro-engraved security feature that shows a “23” inside of the micro-engraved maple leaf when magnified.
- Has a face value of CAD $50 backed by the Canadian government.
The 2023 1 oz. Canadian Gold Maple Leaf proudly displays the effigy (designed by Susanna Blunt) of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse. This iteration of the Gold Maple Leaf will be Her Majesty’s last appearance, since her passing in September 2022. The transition into future coins will naturally include that of newly crowned King Charles III.
The reverse’s timeless design by Walter Ott connects this edition to the first Gold Maple Leaf in 1979, which was made originally to compete with the South African Krugerrand. Further, advanced anti-counterfeiting technology guarantees authenticity thanks to the micro-engraving and precise marking of the radial lines.
