Canadian Maple Leaf 1/2 oz Gold Coin (Random Year)

1/2 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin – Random Year – .9999 Fine Gold

The 1/2 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin ranks among the most trusted and recognizable gold bullion coins in the world. Produced by the Royal Canadian Mint, this coin contains 1/2 troy ounce of .9999 fine gold, making it a strong option for both collectors and investors seeking high-purity gold in a flexible fractional size.

Since its introduction, the Gold Maple Leaf series has earned global recognition for its purity, craftsmanship, and iconic design. The 1/2 oz version, first issued in 1986, expanded the program beyond the original 1 oz coin introduced in 1979. As a result, investors gained an additional option for acquiring high-quality gold at a lower price point than full-ounce coins.

Iconic Maple Leaf Design

The reverse of the coin features the instantly recognizable sugar maple leaf, Canada’s national symbol. Designed by Walter Ott, this elegant image highlights the natural detail of the leaf with crisp engraving and balanced composition. Surrounding inscriptions identify the issuing nation and metal specifications, including “CANADA,” “9999 FINE GOLD,” and the coin’s weight.

The obverse displays the portrait of Canada’s reigning monarch. Coins produced prior to 2024 feature the right-facing profile of Queen Elizabeth II, along with the year of issue and the $20 CAD face value. Beginning in 2024, the Royal Canadian Mint introduced the portrait of King Charles III, designed by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.

High Purity Gold with Global Recognition

Each coin measures approximately 25 mm in diameter with a thickness of 2.23 mm and features a reeded edge. The Royal Canadian Mint guarantees the weight and purity, reinforcing the Maple Leaf’s strong reputation in the global bullion market.

Because this listing offers random-year coins, the exact year of issue will depend on available inventory. However, every coin contains 1/2 troy ounce of .9999 pure gold and ships securely in protective packaging such as sealed mint plastic or a protective coin flip.

As a family-owned business established in 1915, we bring more than 100 years of experience in precious metals to collectors and investors. Our goal is to provide authentic bullion products, competitive pricing, and a transparent buying experience.
