Which country mints the Gold Maple Leaf coin? Canada mints the Gold Maple Leaf coin through the Royal Canadian Mint.

The Gold Maple Leaf is Canada’s flagship gold bullion coin, introduced in 1979 by the Royal Canadian Mint. Its reverse carries the stylized maple leaf, a national emblem of Canada, while the obverse traditionally depicts the reigning monarch. The coin is legal tender in Canada, although its market value is determined mainly by its gold content rather than its face value.

The standard Gold Maple Leaf is famous for its high fineness. Coins issued since 1982 are generally .9999 fine, or 99.99% gold; special editions have reached .99999 fineness, known as “five nines.” The familiar one-troy-ounce version contains at least 31.1035 grams of fine gold, with fractional sizes also available.

It is easy to confuse this coin with other national bullion coins. South Africa issues the Krugerrand, Australia issues the Gold Kangaroo, and the United States issues coins such as the American Gold Eagle and American Buffalo. The maple leaf design is the key clue pointing to Canada.
