Add 2016 1 oz Gold Maple Leaf coins to your cart today! The 2016 1 oz Gold Maple Leaf features a new form of security through the Royal Canadian Mint’s Bullion DNA program. The Bullion DNA program offers the highest security on the market for any bullion coin. Each bullion coin features a textured maple leaf security privy mark, micro-engraved with laser technology and is visible only under magnification. Etched within the maple leaf security mark are the two digits indicating the coin’s production year. Each micro-engraving is encoded, scanned and recorded at the mint for future authentication giving each coin their unique Bullion DNA. Bullion DNA authenticates coins by scanning them with a Mint’s proprietary Bullion DNA reader verifying that the micro-engraved security mark is a match to the Royal Canadian Mint’s secure database. This process provides each Gold Maple Leaf coin with the highest security for any coin in the market place. The Royal Canadian Mint’s unique Bullion DNA program authenticates Gold Maple Leaf coins dated 2014 and later. FMV Gold is a recognized Bullion DNA dealer for trusted RCM products.

Background
Sovereign coins, like the 2016 1 oz Gold Maple Leaf, South African Krugerrands and Austrian Philharmonics, are manufactured and backed by their respective governments. The Canadian Maple Leaf coin, and every sovereign bullion coin, carries a face value, but this is mostly symbolic as Gold bullion coins have raw Gold values far beyond their face value. The Gold Maple Leaf coin has a face value of $100 if in circulation, but no Gold coins have been in legal circulation in Canada since 1913, when the government pulled newly minted Gold coins out of circulation to prevent Gold from leaving the country during World War I. Vintage sovereign Gold coins have far greater value than their intrinsic Gold value if they are rare and prized by collectors.
