History

The Canada Gold Maple Leaf (GML) continues to be one of the most highly sought-after bullion investment coins in the world. All Gold Maple Leafs produced from 2015 forward have unique features for enhanced security, increasing their global popularity.

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

Unique Security Features

The first security feature includes a small textured maple leaf, micro-engraved with laser technology on the reverse 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 both new security features. 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 true cutting-edge coin security.

A third security feature is now available for both the gold and silver Maple Leafs. Marketed by RCM as, "Bullion DNA," this feature provides a near-instantaneous authentication of individual Maple Leafs 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 specialised device, approved Bullion DNA dealers can easily verify the authenticity of registered Gold and Silver Maple Leaf bullion coins in three easy steps."If you're considering more options, head over to our Gold Coins Tubes section.
