1oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf (2025)

The Royal Canadian Mint’s Gold Maple Leaf (GML) coins are renowned worldwide as some of the most popular pure gold coins, with over 25 million troy ounces sold since their debut in 1979. The GML was the first bullion coin to achieve the exceptional purity standard of 9999. The 2025 1-ounce 99.99% pure GML bullion coins feature three advanced security elements: radial lines, a micro-engraved maple leaf, and Bullion DNA™ Anti-Counterfeiting Technology.

Bullion DNA™ Anti-Counterfeiting Technology sets a new benchmark in coin authentication. Each die used to produce GML coins is laser micro-engraved with a security mark to prevent counterfeiting. Our digital non-destructive activation (DNA) technology captures images encrypted with an algorithm signature, storing them securely in our database. This proprietary technology enables the authentication of Gold Maple Leaf coins dated 2014 and later.

In 2013, the Mint introduced a groundbreaking security feature to verify the authenticity of GML coins. Inspired by the award-winning security technology used in Canada’s $1 and $2 circulation coins, this feature consists of a textured maple leaf micro-engraved with laser technology on a small area of the coin's reverse side. At the center of this mark, visible under magnification, is the numeral "25," indicating the coin’s year of issue.

The radial lines on the 2025 GML are precisely machined to within microns on the master tooling, ensuring consistent reproducibility from die to die and coin to coin. These lines create a unique light-diffracting pattern, giving the coin its distinctive appearance.

The 2025 Gold Maple Leaf 1 oz Gold Coin represents the pinnacle of numismatic security and sophistication. Secure your investment in this iconic coin today and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with its advanced anti-counterfeiting measures and timeless beauty.
