History

The Canada Gold Maple Leaf (GML) continues to be one of the most highly sought-after bullion investment coins in the world. The standard annual releases are struck in .9999 fine gold at 1 troy ounce. All 1 oz Gold Maple Leaf's produced from 2015 forward have unique features for enhanced security, also increasing their global popularity.

The Gold Maple Leaf is not only held for its investment value. This beautiful coin is also followed by collectors of fine bullion rounds. With each annual release, collectors quickly add to their GML holdings. The coin's simple elegance proudly presents a stunning and iconic emblem of Canada, the maple leaf.

Unique Security Features (for Coins from *2013-Present*)

The first security feature includes a small textured maple leaf, micro-engraved with laser technology on the obverse side. It displays the last two digits of the release year. This was introduced to the 1 oz GML for the 2013 release.

For the 2015 release, a second visual security feature was added. At the same time, the smaller fractional sizes also received the new addition. This second feature includes the radial lines in the background field on both the obverse and reverse.

These lines have been precisely machined to within microns on the master tooling to ensure reproducibility from die to die and coin to coin. The uniqueness of the line width and pitch gives a characteristic look, creating a light-diffracting pattern specific to this coin. These features combined represent the true cutting-edge of coin security.

A third security feature is now available for both the recent gold and silver Maple Leaf's. Marketed by RCM as, "Bullion DNA," this feature provides a near instantaneous authentication of individual Maple Leaf's that have the micro-engraved maple leaf privy mark. As described by the mint:

"Every die used to produce the Gold and Silver Maple Leaf coins is laser micro-engraved with an anti-counterfeiting security mark: a textured maple leaf. Our registration process - Digital Non-Destructive Activation (DNA) technology - captures images encrypted with a string of code, and stores these in our secure database. Using the specialized device, approved Bullion DNA dealers can easily verify the authenticity of registered Gold and Silver Maple Leaf bullion coins in three easy steps."
