The Gold Maple Leaf is Canada's official gold bullion coin. With virtually no base metal in the coin, the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coins are 24K gold with a .999 purity. For comparison, the American Gold Eagles have a purity of .9127 which makes them a 22K gold coin.
Introduced in 1979, the Gold Maple Leaf coins are hugely popular with both collectors and investors. The 1 oz. gold Maple Leaf value, on its face, is $50 Canadian dollars, but its actual worth will be tied to the market price of gold. In addition to the 1 troy oz coins, the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf is also available in fractional sizes - 1/20 oz, 1/10 oz, and 1/2 oz.
Since 24k gold is quite a bit softer than 22K gold, if you are buying Gold Maple Leafs as a collector, you will want to take good care of the coins to make sure they do not get scratched. Coin capsules can help protect them or you can buy graded coins which come in sealed cases designed to collect the coins. But if you buy purely for investment value (and yet would still like to maintain the aesthetic value of the coins), then buying in bulk and storing them in containers designed to hold 10 coins each is probably your best bet.
The Canadian Gold Maple Leaf is a very pretty coin which features a Maple Leaf on its reverse and a portrait of Queen Elizabeth on the obverse. The strike of the coin is proof-like with a raised, mirrored relief and a frosted field, making it one of the world's most distinctive looking gold bullion coins.
