Is it the .9999 fine gold that makes the 2023 ¼ oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin so gorgeous or is it the beautifully detailed design? The answer probably lies in a combination of both. In this coin, you get what comes from the Royal Canadian Mint combining high-quality gold with a spectacular design. Investors and collectors alike love these coins.

On the obverse of the coin is Queen Elizabeth II. As is traditional, these coins feature the queen at different times in her life. This coin shows her at age 79 facing right wearing a simple dress, pearl earrings, and a pearl necklace. The artwork is by Canadian artist Susanna Blunt. Showing the queen without her crown gives her a more casual appearance as if she is waiting to entertain guests for tea. The pearls and her confident look still give her a regal air. Engraved on her right shoulder we see Blunt’s initials, ‘SB’. Above the queen is written ‘Elizabeth II’. Below her portrait is ‘50 Dollars 2023’.
Walter’s Ott’s design of a sugar maple leaf is on the reverse of the coin. Ott’s design is very intricate and is a very realistic portrayal of the leaf. This leaf has historical significance as the sugar maple trees were used by the Canadian aboriginal people as an important food source. Later the European settlers found the sugar maple leaf to be a convenient source of sugar. The sugar maple leaf is iconic to Canada as a national symbol. It adorns their flag and is used by their military. Above the leaf is written ‘Canada’. To the right and left of the leaf is ‘9999’ referring to the purity of the gold, .9999. At the bottom of the coin is ‘Fine Gold’ and ‘1/4 oz OR Pur’. Included on this coin is a micro-lasered maple leaf as an anti-counterfeiting measure. When viewed under a microscope, it shows a ‘23’.
For decades the Canadian Royal Mint has proven to be one of the most trusted mints. They have consistently proven to be reliable and shown they can make stunning products from precious metals. The Maple Leaf coins are IRA approved and are backed by the Canadian Government which makes them an attractive choice for investors and collectors alike.
