2026 1/2 oz Gold Maple Leaf Coin

2026 1/2 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin

The Royal Canadian Mint introduced the Gold Maple Leaf series in 1979, along with classic gold coins, such as the South African Gold Krugerrand and the Austrian 100 Corona.

The program debuted with a 1 oz gold bullion coin, later expanding to include fractional sizes of 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/10 oz, 1/20 oz, and even a miniature 1 gram edition.

The 1/2 oz Gold Maple Leaf carries a $20 face value, fully backed by the Canadian government as legal tender. It showcases the iconic Sugar Maple Leaf design and incorporates the series’ advanced security features to ensure authenticity.

SD Bullion offers the most recent edition of the Maple Leaf Series, the 2026 1/2 oz Gold Maple Leaf Coin.

The Design

The reverse highlights the series’ motif, the sugar maple leaf, originally designed by Walter Ott. Surrounding the leaf are inscriptions in both English and French detailing the coin’s weight, purity, and gold content: “CANADA,” “9999,” “FINE GOLD,” “1/2 OZ,” and “OR PUR.”

On the obverse, Steven Rosati’s portrait of King Charles III appears in left profile, encircled by the inscriptions “CHARLES III,” “20 DOLLARS,” and “2026.”

Radial line patterns enhance security on both sides of the coin. A smaller maple leaf, placed at the lower right of the reverse beneath the main design, carries a micro-engraved two-digit year mark to prevent counterfeiting.

RCM Bullion DNA

The Bullion DNA is a Royal Canadian Mint exclusive anticounterfeiting technology. DNA stands for Digital Non-Destructive Activation, meaning each coin receives an encrypted string of codes during the registration process, which is stored in the RCM’s database and can only be read through a specialized scanner.
