The 1/10oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf is one of the world’s most trusted and recognisable fractional gold coins. First introduced by the Royal Canadian Mint in 1982, it offers investors a highly liquid and cost-effective way to own fine gold in smaller, more flexible denominations. Struck in 9999 fine gold (24 carat), the coin contains precisely one-tenth of a troy ounce of pure gold, making it one of the purest fractional bullion coins available.
Renowned for its striking design and exceptional quality, the reverse features the iconic maple leaf—Canada’s national symbol—while the obverse bears the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III for 2024 and beyond. Enhanced with precision radial lines and micro-engraved security features, the 1/10oz Gold Maple Leaf offers both beauty and peace of mind. It’s an ideal choice for investors seeking purity, global recognition, and easy divisibility in their gold holdings.
