The Maple Leaf gold coin is one of the bullion coins known around the world; the gold series has been issued since 1979. According to the Royal Canadian Mint, the 2026 issue shows King Charles III on the obverse. The features of the 2027 vintage apply once the Mint has published them. We source new vintages directly from the Royal Canadian Mint. At StoneX Bullion you buy the coin at the live price, which is continuously adjusted to the precious metals market.

What security features does the 1 oz Maple Leaf gold coin have?

According to the Royal Canadian Mint, the 2026 vintage of the 1 oz Maple Leaf gold coin carries three security features: radial lines in the background of the reverse, a laser micro-engraved maple leaf with the digits of the mint year (e.g. “27”) and the mint’s Bullion DNA database. This makes it easier to check the coin’s authenticity.

In the 2026 vintage, the background of the reverse is covered in precisely machined radial lines that fan out the light. Beside the large leaf sits a tiny laser-engraved maple leaf with the digits of the mint year, which only becomes visible under a magnifier. Dealers with the right reader can verify the coin via Bullion DNA.

How big is the Maple Leaf and how should you store it?

The 1 oz Maple Leaf gold coin has a diameter of 30 mm, which makes it noticeably more compact than a Vienna Philharmonic at 37 mm, even though both contain the same amount of fine gold. That saves space, for example in a coin box or a safe deposit box.

The Maple Leaf is made of 24-carat gold, while the Krugerrand is alloyed differently (22 carat). It is best to handle the coin only by the edge, or to leave it in its packaging, so that the shiny leaf does not get scratched.
