Design & Advanced Security
Obverse (varies by year): Effigy of Queen Elizabeth II (1982–2023) by Arnold Machin, Dora de Pédery-Hunt, or Susanna Blunt; or King Charles III (late-2023 onward) by Steven Rosati. Legends include face value and year.
Reverse: Walter Ott's iconic sugar maple leaf over precision radial lines with a micro-engraved maple-leaf privy bearing the last two digits of the year (2013–present). Inscriptions read "CANADA," "FINE GOLD 1 OZ OR PUR," and purity "9999."
These security elements make the Gold Maple one of the world's most counterfeit-resistant bullion coins — and remain fully intact regardless of surface wear or cosmetic condition.
