Buy 2019 1/4 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coins
Another release from the Royal Canadian Mint under the Gold Maple Leaf coin program, the 2019 1/4 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coins, are now available at SD Bullion.
The very first Gold Maple Leaf Coin (1 oz) was released in 1979 (however, the first 1/4 oz variant was released only in 1982) by the Royal Canadian Mint. At the time, the precious metals bullion market was completely monopolized by the famed Krugerrands from South Africa. However, the Royal Canadian Mint surprised the market by launching the Gold Maple Leaf Coins, a series that is still respected and adored across the world.
Each of these coins is struck using 1/4 troy ounces of 0.9999 pure gold. Moreover, they carry $10 (CAD) face values that indicate their legal tender status.
An elegant portrait of Queen Elizabeth II graces the obverses of these coins. Created by Susanna Blunt in 2003, the image depicts Her Majesty's right profile beautifully. This portrayal is the fourth depiction of the Queen on a Canadian coin.
The reverses feature the brilliant image of a maple leaf – depicted in such painstaking detail that you can't help be but mesmerized. Every vein imprinted into the leaf makes it extremely lifelike. Unique radial lines in the background are light-diffracting in nature. Hence, this design element aims to provide both a layer of security against counterfeits, while lending a certain elegance to the design itself and enhancing it at the same time.
These 2019 1/4 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coins are excellent choices for collectors who want to maintain full sets of coins from this series. Moreover, the 0.9999 pure gold content makes them extremely valuable gold investment vehicles for investors who want to diversify their portfolios with quality gold products.
