The Maple Leaf gold coin was first introduced in 1978 following the success of the South African Krugerand – the world’s first gold bullion coin to be offered as an investment tool.
However, because Krugerrand gold coins were subject to export restrictions in countries that did not agree with apartheid, the Maple Leaf became the first investment coin that was easily available to investors all over the world.
When Maple Leaf gold coins were originally struck, they contained a gold content of 999/1000. Thanks to advanced minting techniques developed in the early 1980’s, the Canadian Mint became the first refinery to increase the purity of gold coins to 9999/1000 in 1982 and in doing so, established benchmarks that are widely used in mintages today.
