1g Gold Maple Gram 25

A composite of twenty-five GML coins each weighing 1 gram of 99.99% pure gold, packaged in a divisible blister pack wrapped in an elegant sleeve. Each coin blister has a distinct serial number, and the assay certificate on the sleeve certifies the purity and weight of the coins.

The applauded Royal Canadian Mint’s headquarters occupy a historic building in the centre of Ottawa and was founded in 1908. It is responsible for all the production and distribution of Canada’s coinage and its enormous minting capacity also allows it to produce foreign circulation, numismatic and bullion coins for international consumers.

Admired by investors throughout the world, the Royal Canadian Mint’s Gold Maple Leaf (GML) coins are struck with the distinctive Canadian maple leaf design and are unsurpassed in quality.

The reverse of the coins showcases a beautifully detailed sugar maple leaf, widely recognized as the coveted Canadian national icon. Inscriptions include “CANADA ” alongside inscriptions for purity and weight.

Since 2021, this product features the name and signature of the Mint’s new chief assayer, Charles Daoust.

The obverse features the modern effigy of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Susanna Blunt along with the year of issue and legal tender value set against micro-engraved radial lines-a security feature that is pushing the boundaries of engraving technology.

It is the second effigy of the Queen Elizabeth II by a Canadian artist (after the one by Dora de Pédery-Hunt introduced in 1990) and it has been in use on Canadians coins since 2003. The Royal Canadian Mint describes the portrait as a “more mature and less formal portrait of Her Majesty”. The portrait shows the Queen facing right. She is bare-headed (not crowned) and wears a pearl necklace; it recalls the effigy of King George VI, who also chose to be portrayed without a crown.
