The 1oz Gold Maple Leaf Collection

- The beautiful and elegant Canadian Gold Maple Leaf (GML) is a gold bullion coin that is issued annually by the Government of Canada and produced by the Royal Canadian Mint. The Gold Maple Leaf is legal tender with a face value of 50 Canadian dollars. The current design has a .9999 millesimal fineness (24 carats), in some cases .99999, the coin is among the purest official bullion coins worldwide. The standard version has a weight of minimum 1 troy ounce (31.10 grammes) and 30mm in diameter. The Gold Maple Leaf's obverse and reverse display, respectively, the profile of Queen Elizabeth II of Canada and the Canadian Maple Leaf.  The coin was introduced in 1979. At the time the only bullion coin was the Krugerrand, which was not widely available because of the economic boycott of apartheid-era South Africa. Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coins are considered some of the most beautiful Gold coins in the world and appeal to both investors and collectors worldwide for their beauty and purity.

- I am focusing on collecting the 1oz Maple Leaf's that actually have the maple leaf struck on the reverse side of the coin. That is the annual bullion and some of the privy -and anniversary coins.
