1989 Canada 1/10 oz Gold Maple Leaf BU
In 1989, the Royal Canadian Mint produced a remarkable fractional gold piece containing one-tenth of an ounce of highly refined 0.9999 fine gold. This five-dollar denomination coin represents a masterclass in metal purity, backed fully as official sovereign currency by the government of Canada. The obverse of the coin displays a right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Encircling her likeness are inscriptions denoting her name, the year 1989, and the face value of 5 Dollars. This side of the coin serves as a dignified tribute to the monarch, rendered with crisp detail. On the reverse, the design celebrates a national symbol with a detailed depiction of a single maple leaf. The inscriptions on this side highlight the coin's exceptional composition, marked by the purity of 9999 on either side of the leaf, alongside text declaring the weight as 1/10 oz of fine gold. A total of 539,000 of these specific coins were minted in 1989, making them a fascinating study in Canadian numismatic craftsmanship.
