The Canadian Maple Leaf One Ounce Gold Bullion Coin is minted by the Royal Canadian Mint and was first introduced in 1979. This coin features the iconic maple leaf, a symbol which is often used to represent Canada and is synonymous with Canadian identity.

In addition to this, the Canadian Maple Leaf Coin features a textured maple leaf which is laser engraved with the number “18” as a security feature and to show the coin's year of issue.
