Gold
Since its introduction in 1979, the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coin has become the standard by which the purity of other bullion coins is measured. The first investment coin to achieve the heightened standard of 9999 fine, the Gold Maple Leaf is available in five weights from one-twentieth of an ounce to one troy ounce.
The Mint also produces one-, five- and ten-ounce gold wafers to the same quality standard. Each wafer is struck with its weight, gold purity level and Royal Canadian Mint hallmark.
Silver
Encouraged by the success of the Gold Maple Leaf, the Mint introduced Silver Maple Leaf Coins in 1988. The Silver Maple Leaf is minted with one troy ounce of 9999 fine silver. The coin has a face value of $5 Canadian, the highest face value of any comparable silver bullion coin.
Platinum
The Mint issued Platinum Maple Leaf coins in one-ounce, one-half-ounce, one-quarter- ounce and one-tenth-ounce sizes from 1988 through 1999. Although they are no longer in production, the coins remain in demand on the secondary market.
