(Pre-Order) 2027 Canada $1 Iconic Maple Leaf 0.5 g Pure Gold Coin (No Tax)

Pure gold meets pure Canadiana on this half-gram (0.5 g) coin that combines the timeless allure of 99.99% pure gold with the iconic elegance of a silver maple leaf, a species rooted in Canada’s natural landscape and national identity. Resplendent in a reverse proof finish, this maple portrait is small (11 mm) in size but big on engraved details and value—it’s an affordable way to start/continue your gold collecting journey, or gift someone their very first precious metal.

Affordable and unforgettable—your tiny, gold maple for 2027.

Featured here, Acer saccharinum—better known as the silver maple—provided the inspiration for the Royal Canadian Mint's first maple leaf shaped coin, 2015’s The Canadian Maple Leaf.

The reverse design by Canadian artist Lisa Thomson-Khan captures the quiet beauty of a silver maple (Acer saccharinum) leaf and highlights its elegant form. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
