1989 Canada 1/4 oz Proof Gold Maple Leaf
In 1989, the Royal Canadian Mint produced a special proof edition of its famous Gold Maple Leaf coin, containing a quarter ounce of gold. This issue stands out for its exceptional purity, struck in 0.9999 fine gold. With a limited mintage of only 6,998 pieces, this coin represents a refined marriage of precise minting technology and iconic Canadian artistry. The obverse of the coin displays a elegant, right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Surrounding her likeness are inscriptions denoting her name, the year of issue (1989), and the face value of 10 Dollars. The reverse side showcases the classic design of a single, highly detailed maple leaf, the national symbol of Canada. The inscriptions on this side emphasize the precious metal content and purity, marked with the traditional bilingual text indicating fine gold in both English and French.
