On the obverse side of 2012 Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coins, you will find an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. This portrait of the Queen was developed in 2003 by Susanna Blunt and is the latest right-profile relief of the monarch to grace Canadian coins. The fourth effigy of the Queen overall on Canadian coins is just the second overall created by a Canadian artist.

The reverse face of 2012 1 oz Gold Maple Leaf Coins comes with the image of a sugar maple leaf. The most common maple species in North America, the sugar maple leaf has long been a symbol of Canada. Used by some of the earliest villages and territories established in what is now Canada, and currently featured on the Canadian national flag, the sugar maple leaf is a common symbol of the nation. It was designed for this coin series in 1979 by Walter Ott.
