Coin Purity
The Royal Canadian Mint pioneered the concept of minting a gold coin without
the need for a strengthening alloy in order to produce the gold Maple Leaf in
such high purity. Such purity proved to be extremely popular with collectors
and investors worldwide. A few years after its initial introduction, the Maple
Leaf gold coin was outselling the Krugerrand.
Coin Design
The classic design of the gold Maple Leaf coin is virtually unchanged from its
introduction. The bust of Queen Elizabeth II appears on the obverse side of the
coin, gracefully aging across various vintage coins in a design by Arnold
Machin. Several other small changes can be found. The reverse depicts a single
Canadian Maple Leaf, the national symbol of Canada. The finely detailed design
has a proof-like strike.

The beautiful and classic design of the American Gold Eagle bullion coin is captured in the graceful Striding Liberty, first created by Augustus Saint Gaudens for the 1907-1933 $20 U.S. Double Gold Eagle gold coin. The reverse depicts a nest of American eagles signifying the strength and security of American families. Only gold mined in the United States, by law, is used in the minting of American gold Eagle coins. The 1986 Gold Eagle marked the introduction of this world renowned Gold American Eagle bullion coin series. It has since become the world’s most widely traded gold bullion coin.
