1989 Canada 1/10 oz Proof Gold Maple Leaf
In 1989, Canada issued a stunning proof-quality gold coin that showcases the nation's mastery in refining precious metals. Struck with a purity of 0.9999 fine gold, this sovereign coin contains exactly one tenth of an ounce of pure gold. Its status as official legal tender is fully backed by the Canadian government, with a face value of 5 Dollars. The obverse of the coin displays a right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, accompanied by the year of issue and the denomination. On the reverse, the design features the iconic, highly detailed single maple leaf, which serves as a classic national symbol. This particular release is highly notable for its limited production, with a total mintage of just 16,992 pieces. As a proof strike, the coin exhibits a sharp, reflective finish that highlights the intricate details of both the royal portrait and the delicate veins of the maple leaf.
