Buy 2020 1 oz Gold Maple Leafs Online

Introduced in 1979, the Gold Maple Leaf Coin has become a favorite item for investors of gold bullion due to it’s .9999 purity. There are also many collectors who like the coin due to the Canadian Mint’s intricate and exquisite detailing in their designs.

The Royal Canadian Mint was originally opened in 1908 as a branch of the British Royal Mint and was first used for minting gold sovereigns with a ‘C’ mint mark. It wasn’t until 1931 that the mint gained its independence from Britain, officially becoming known as the Royal Canadian Mint. In 1976 a new mint location was opened in Winnipeg and is currently used to mint coins not just for Canada, but for more than 70 countries world-wide.

Featured prominently on the obverse of this year’s 1oz Gold Maple Coin is the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This is the most recent design by Canadian artist Susanna Blunt and has been used since 2003. Similar to different Canadian circulation coinage, the Gold Maple shows Her Majesty in middle-age. In addition to the portrait the monetary denomination and year of issue are also on the obverse of the coin as well.

The design of the reverse once again shows the now iconic Maple Leaf which has been used since 1979 when the Royal Canadian Mint first introduced the Gold Maple Leaf line. Above the leaf is the word “CANADA” and the metal type, weight, and purity are also found on the reverse.

Each year the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin is an eagerly awaited release, and in 2020 that’s still the case. So be sure to pick some up today and lock in confidently at the current gold price because with SD Bullion you are always getting the best prices available online.
