Product Details

Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coins were introduced in 1979 as an alternative to the wildly popular South African Krugerrand. The debut of the Gold Maple Leaf in 1979 came as Western nations were enacting sanctions against South Africa that would slow the spread of the Krugerrand. Additionally, the series was the first 24-karat gold bullion coin ever issued. Now, 2004 1/10 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coins are available to purchase online from Bullion Metals.

Queen Elizabeth II appears on the obverse of 2004 1/10 oz Gold Maple Leaf Coins. This design, created by Susanna Blunt in 2003, depicts the Queen at age 79. The right-profile relief of Her Majesty features a simple, elegant design without a crown or tiara, making it one of the few effigies of her reign that portrays her in this manner. The 2004 issue is the first in the series to feature this effigy of Elizabeth II.

The reverse of the 2004 Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coins showcases the iconic sugar maple leaf. Deeply embedded in Canadian national identity, the maple leaf symbolizes unity, diversity, and pride in Canada’s natural heritage. Its recognition extends far beyond Canada’s borders, making it one of the most universally known symbols of the nation.

Walter Ott created the maple leaf design for the Canadian Maple Leaf Series. His maple leaf design for Canada’s Gold Maple Leaf bullion coins features a highly detailed single maple leaf that has become iconic in bullion collecting. The design is notable for its precise veining and textural details that make it both aesthetically pleasing and difficult to counterfeit.

These 2004 1/10 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coins are housed in protective plastic for safekeeping. When the Maple Leaf Series debuted in 1979, only 1 oz gold was available. When the Royal Canadian Mint expanded the series for the first time in November 1982, the 1/4 and 1/10 oz gold coins were the first additional weights offered.
