Canadian Maple Leaf Gold Bullion coins history.

Canada Gold Maple coins were first minted in 1979 with Canada’s national emblem of a Maple Leaf on the back of the coin, with Queen Elizabeth II shown on front of the maple coin. The Canadian Royal Mint was the first to mint a coin of pure .999 gold rather than using the more popular alloyed 22 carat gold to produce bullion coins. The idea behind minting maple gold bullion coins from 99.99% pure gold was that investment gold coins are not intended to be handled and used as currency so harder wearing alloyed less pure gold was not required. All gold used to mint Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Bullion Coins comes from gold mines in Canada.
