Description

2023 1/2 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin (BU)

The Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Series debuted at the Royal Canadian Mint in 1979. When the coins were first issued, only a 1 oz gold coin was available to investors. It would be another seven years before a broader slate of fractional-ounce gold coins were available in the series. Among the last introduced was the 1/2 oz gold coin. Right now, 2023 1/2 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coins are available to purchase online.

Coin Highlights:

  • Arrives in protective flips or plastic sheets of 10 coins!
  • 44th issue of the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Series!
  • Largest fractional-ounce coin in the series!
  • Contains 1/2 Troy oz of .9999 pure gold in BU condition.
  • Bears a face value of $20 (CAD) backed by the federal government of Canada.
  • Obverse depicts Queen Elizabeth II.
  • Reverse features a sugar maple leaf.

Each of the 2023 1/2 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coins available here comes in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The coins in the 1/2 oz gold option come with individual protective flips or plastic sheets with 10 coins included.

Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coins debuted in 1979 with 1 oz gold only and continued as such through November 1982. Starting in 1982, the mint introduced three additional fractional-ounce coins through 1986. The first coins introduced were the 1/4 oz and 1/10 oz coins, with these 1/2 oz gold coins first issued in 1986.

Obverse features on the 2023 Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin include a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty is shown here in right-profile relief without a crown, the only portrait of her reign to follow this tradition of male monarchs from the United Kingdom. These 2023 1/2 oz Gold Maples are the last in this series with Her Majesty’s effigy.

Reverse design elements on 2023 1/2 oz Gold Maple Leafs include the popular sugar maple leaf. This image of the national emblem has been on the reverse of all coins in this series since its debut in 1979.
