Canadian Maple Leaf 1 ounce of Gold 2026

The 2026 Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coin is a classic bullion product, chosen by investors worldwide for decades as a core component of a gold portfolio. The one-ounce .9999 fine gold (Au) coin is struck by the Royal Canadian Mint—renowned for the highest quality standards and advanced security features. Each coin carries the Government of Canada’s guarantee of weight, purity, and legal-tender status in the issuing country.

Canadian Maple Leaf issues have long been regarded as among the most recognizable investment coins on the market. A consistent, globally recognized design, high liquidity upon resale, and wide acceptability among dealers make the 2026 issue an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced investors. It is a universal choice for those building long-term wealth protection.

Since 2014, Gold Maple Leafs have been covered by the Bullion DNA program and equipped with advanced security features: a radial background that deters counterfeiting and a micro-engraved maple leaf at the lower part of the reverse. These features enable quick visual verification of authenticity and increase security in secondary-market trading.

Obverse: Features the effigy of King Charles III, surrounded by inscriptions bearing his name, the face value, and the year of issue 2026. The background is filled with distinctive radial lines serving as a security feature, and the overall design reflects the elegant, modern style typical of the Royal Canadian Mint.

Reverse: Depicts the distinctive maple leaf—the national symbol of Canada—designed by Walter Otto. The rim bears the fineness, the coin’s weight, and the issuing country. In the lower right, there is a miniature maple leaf with micro-engraving, providing an additional security element for the 2026 issue.
