Background

Buy Sovereign Gold CoinsSovereign coins, like the 2018 1 oz Gold Maple Leaf, as well as other famous coins such as Mexican Libertads, South African Krugerrands and Austrian Philharmonics, are minted and guaranteed by their issuing government. The Canadian Maple Leaf coin, like every sovereign bullion coin, bears a nominal face value that is largely symbolic. The intrinsic value of the Gold in these coins vastly outstrips their face value. For example, the Gold Maple Leaf coin has a face value of $100, should someone attempt to use it as circulating currency, but Canada has not actually used Gold coins in general circulation since 1913. At that time, the government pulled Gold coins out of circulation in an attempt to prevent Gold from leaving Canada during World War I. Vintage sovereign Gold coins also have greater Gold value than face value, but they may be most coveted by numismatists, depending on their scarcity and condition.

Discover the Three Portraits of Queen Elizabeth IIThe artwork on the 1 oz Gold Maple Leaf bears witness to Canada’s close ties to the English monarchy. Since 1979, these Canadian coins have depicted Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at three different stages of her life, once at age 39, again at 64 and then at 79 years old. Currently, the Gold coins bear an effigy of Her Majesty at age 79, created by renowned Canadian artist Susanna Blunt. This depiction of the beloved Queen is generally considered more relaxed and natural, as it portrays her without a crown.

The new 2018 Gold Maple Leaf is perfect for your new or existing Precious Metal collection or investment holdings.
