The ½ oz variant of the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coins was introduced in 1986, making this 2017 version its 32nd issue.

The Canadian Government established the Royal Canadian Mint in 1908 to refine gold from the Yukon Territories and become independent from the Royal Mint of London. The Royal Canadian Mint is most renowned for manufacturing gold maple leaf coins and coveted for their gold purity levels.

On the obverse face, the coin depicts a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This portrait is the third installment to be showcased on these maple leaf coins across the years. The first generation coins manufactured between 1979 and 1989 depicts a younger Queen aged 39, followed by an image at age 64 on coins struck between 1990 and 2004. The current portrait of Her Majesty is from 2003 made by Susanna Blunt. This side also features the face value of this coin below the portrait along with the year of issue.

The opposite face showcases the iconic maple leaf at the center of the coin. In fact, the maple leaf contains the year of issue only visible through a microscope. Additionally, both the faces feature a series of radial lines which serve to battle counterfeits.
