1981 Canada 1 oz Gold Maple Leaf BU


1.0000 troy oz .999 1981 Brilliant Unc

Introduced in 1979, the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf series represents a significant milestone in gold bullion history. This 1981 edition showcases the early years of the series, struck in one troy ounce of 0.999 fine gold. The Royal Canadian Mint guarantees both the metal weight and the high level of purity for this fifty dollar denomination coin. The obverse of the coin displays a right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Surrounding her likeness are the year of issue, 1981, and the face value of 50 dollars. The design is clean and elegant, reflecting the mid-century era of its origin. On the reverse, a highly detailed, single maple leaf serves as the central focus. This iconic emblem of Canada is flanked by the purity specifications. Legible inscriptions on this side include the words FINE GOLD, 1 OZ, and the French equivalent OR PUR, alongside the 999 purity mark, celebrating the natural heritage of the issuing nation.
