1/4 oz Canadian Maple Leaf gold coin

The Maple Leaf gold coins of the Royal Canadian Mint are among the most popular investment coins in the world. The 1 ounce Maple Leaf was introduced in 1979 and, after the Krugerrand, is the second-oldest gold investment coin in the world. Coins in the 1/4 ounce denomination were first minted in 1982. Since 1983 the Maple Leaf gold coins have had a fineness of 999,9 / 1.000, making them the first investment coins with this highest fineness. The front of the Maple Leaf shows the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II up to 2023 and the portrait of King Charles III from 2024 onwards, as well as the denomination and the respective year of minting. The reverse shows the eponymous maple leaf, the inscription "CANADA" and "FINE GOLD", the fine weight and the denomination. The Maple Leaf gold coins are considered particularly counterfeit-proof. Since 2013 a small laser engraving has been present on the reverse of the Maple Leaf as a security feature, and since 2015 the coin backgrounds have been minted with radial lines.
