2026 Canada 1 oz Gold Maple Leaf BU

---

The 2026 Gold Maple Leaf represents a continuation of a prestigious bullion tradition that began in 1979. Struck by the Royal Canadian Mint, this fifty-dollar denomination coin contains one troy ounce of highly refined gold with a purity of 0.9999, a standard of fineness the mint established for the series in 1982. As a sovereign issue, its weight and purity are fully backed by the Canadian government. On the obverse, the coin displays the effigy of King Charles III, a portrait created by artist Steven Rosati. The reverse is dominated by the classic, deeply detailed maple leaf design. Surrounding this central image are inscriptions detailing the weight and the 0.9999 purity in both English and French, reading FINE GOLD and L'OR PUR. This modern issue incorporates sophisticated security measures to prevent counterfeiting. Radial lines cover the background fields on both sides, creating a unique light-refracting pattern. Additionally, a tiny, micro-engraved maple leaf privy mark is positioned on the reverse. Visible under magnification, this security feature contains the number 26 to represent the year of release, a micro-engraving practice utilized since 2015. The coin also utilizes Bullion DNA Anti-Counterfeiting Technology to ensure its authenticity.
