If you are looking for a coin with beautiful designs and exceptional gold purity, then you should be looking at the 1 oz Gold Canadian Maple Leaf coin. A creation of the highly regarded Royal Canadian Mint, the Gold Maple Leaf coin is minted in 99.99% fine gold. The weight and purity of each coin are guaranteed by the Canadian Government. And it is an affordable addition to your investment collection. Currently, the 1988 1 oz Gold Canadian Maple Leaf Coin is available for purchase online at Silver.com.

Coin Highlights:

  • Received in a protective plastic flip!
  • Tenth issue of the Gold Canadian Maple Leaf Coin!
  • Consists of One Troy ounce of .9999 fine gold.
  • A profile of Queen Elizabeth II is on the obverse.
  • The Maple Leaf is on the reverse.
  • Displays a face value of $50 (CAD) backed by the Government of Canada.

The 1988 Gold Canadian Maple Leaf coin obverse displays a right-facing profile of Queen Elizabeth II. Since 1952, when Queen Elizabeth II ascended to the throne, all Canadian coinage has featured Her Majesty. This 1988 coin depicts a profile of Her Majesty at 39 years old. As the years passed, Her Majesty’s profile would be updated to depict Her Majesty at 64 years old and later at 79 years old.

The 1988 Gold Canadian Maple Leaf coin reverse displays the unofficial emblem of Canada, the Maple Leaf. Created by master engraver Walter Ott, the exquisite details of the Maple Leaf are clearly visible in his highly detailed design. Created in 1979, this Maple Leaf design has remained nearly unchanged through the years.

The Gold Canadian Maple Leaf coins have been issued annually. While originally minted with a gold purity of 99.9%, the RCM decided to make them even more special. In November 1982, the RCM increased the coin’s gold purity to 99.99%. This historical move made the Gold Canadian Maple Leaf the first bullion coin to be minted at such a high gold purity and the standard for all 24-karat gold bullion coins.

For their introduction, the Gold Canadian Maple Leaf coins were minted in only the 1 oz denomination. However, when the RCM increased the gold purity of the coins, they also rolled out additional weights. By 1988, the Gold Maple Leafs were also available in 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz weights. A 1/20 oz and 1 gram weight were added in later years. Historically, the most famous and best-selling Gold Canadian Maple Leaf coin has been the 1 oz denomination.

The official mint of Canada is the Royal Canadian Mint, which was founded in Ottawa in 1908. The RCM produces all of Canada’s circulation coins, in addition to some circulation coins of other nations. With the tremendous popularity of the Gold Maple Leaf coins, the RCM needed to boost production capacity, which led to the opening of a second facility in Winnipeg in the 1980s.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
