The Royal Canadian Mint is increasing its fight against counterfeiting of gold bullion coins with enhanced security features on its centerpiece Canadian Maple Leaf Coins. In 2015, the mint introduced radial lines to the background field of its Gold Maple Leaf coins and other metallic versions of the coins.

These unique, light-diffracting patterns make it harder for counterfeiters to replicate the coins easily. This makes the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf series one of the most secure in the world, and with .9999 pure gold content on top of that, it’s no wonder the coins are such a popular choice each year.

All 2018 ½ oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coins are in BU condition in this listing. Coins in this condition show no signs of wear and tear, though you may notice minor flaws resulting from the production process. These flaws range from breaks in the luster and spotted surfaces to contact marks.

The obverse of all Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coins features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, the monarch of Great Britain and various commonwealth nations. Her Majesty has appeared on Canadian coinage since 1952, and this 2003 design from Susanna Blunt is the fourth-generation effigy of the Queen to appear on Canadian coins.

On the reverse of all 2018 ½ oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coins you’ll find the image of the sugar maple leaf. The leaf has featured on the coins with relatively few alterations since 1979 when the gold coins in the series were introduced. The sugar maple leaf dominates the center, with engravings of the nation of issue, purity, weight, and metal content ringing around it.

The Royal Canadian Mint opened in 1908 to provide the nation with control of its coining operations independent of the United Kingdom. It operated one mint in Ottawa, the federal capital until a Winnipeg location opened in the 1980s.
