Since the introduction of the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin in 1979, only one monarch has featured on the obverse of the coins in this series. Her Majesty’s record-setting reign saw her appear on countless forms of currency, bullion, and circulation alike, from 1952 to 2022.

With her passing in September 2022, the Queen will no longer feature on British or Commonwealth coinage. However, mints around the world are not prepared with King Charles III effigies for coinage. As such, the Royal Canadian Mint introduces the 2023 Canadian Maple Leaf with Queen Elizabeth II’s effigy for one final time.

Queen Elizabeth II is on the obverse of 2023 1/10 oz Gold Maple Leaf Coins for a final time. This 2003 portrait of the Queen was created by Susanna Blunt as the fourth-generation effigy of Her Majesty and was the first of her reign to lack a crown.

The sugar maple leaf features on the reverse of 2023 Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coins. This design was created in 1979 by Walter Ott and has featured on all of the coins in the series. The sugar maple leaf is the most common of its species in North America and is the national emblem of Canada.

These 2023 1/10 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coins are available to purchase in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. You will receive your coins in either protective flips or plastic sheets of 40 coins.
