2011 1 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin
$2,148
A right-facing profile of Queen Elizabeth II adorns the obverse of the Gold Maple Leaf coin. This version of Her Majesty was created in 2003 by Canadian artist Susanna Blunt and is the first coin to show the Queen without a crown. Since ascending to the throne of the United Kingdom in 1952, all Canadian coinage has featured one version or another of Queen Elizabeth II.
The Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coin was first minted in 1979 by the Royal Canadian Mint and has been issued annually ever since. The first Maple Leaf coins were 1 oz, with a gold purity of 99.9%. In 1983, the RCM increased the coin’s gold purity to 99.99%, making it the first bullion coin to have such high gold purity. In 2007, not wanting to be outdone, the RCM increased the coin’s gold purity to 99.999%.
The Gold Maple Leaf was initially minted in only the 1 oz denomination. In 1982, the RCM added the 1/4 oz ($10) and 1/10 oz ($5) denominations, in 1986, the 1/2 oz ($20) denomination, and in 1993, the 1/20 oz ($1) denomination. In 1994, the RCM experimented with a 1/15 oz denomination Maple Leaf, but the lack of demand for this unique size led to its not being issued again. In 2015, with a mintage limited to just 7,500 coins, the RCM issued the 1/25 oz Maple Leaf to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Canadian Flag.

“These coins are so shiny, I could stare at them all day long. They’re also a great way to learn about history and different cultures. I highly recommend them! Unless you’re a vampire, then you’ll probably just burn your retinas.”

I’m not sure if I’m more excited about my new coin collection or the fact that I can finally impress my friends with my vast knowledge of numismatics.
