TORONTO, March 2, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
The Royal Canadian Mint has produced the largest Gold Maple Leaf coin ever
made, struck in exquisite detail and high relief at the Mint's Ottawa facility.
As the only Mint in the world crafting coins from 99.999% pure gold, the
10-kilogram product offers collectors a unique luxury experience. In creating
its second only such offering, the Mint has faithfully recreated all the
signature elements of its famed Gold Maple Leaf bullion coin. This exclusive
coin is on display at the Royal Canadian Mint's booth (# 3348), throughout PDAC
2020 at the Toronto Metro Convention Centre, from now until March 4, 2020.

"For more than 40 years, the Mint's Gold Maple Leaf has led the global precious
metal industry by setting new standards for the purity and security of gold
bullion coins," said Marie Lemay, President and CEO of the Royal Canadian Mint.
"We are proud to have created a 10-kilogram, 99.999% pure collector edition of
the Gold Maple Leaf coin as an exclusive expression of one of the world's most
admired and coveted gold coins."
The 99.999% pure 10-Kilogram Gold Maple Leaf meticulously captures every detail
of the 1 oz. gold bullion coin it celebrates. Its maple leaf-shaped security
mark, the dazzling array of radial lines filling the reverse and obverse of the
coin, and the trademark Walter Ott-designed sugar maple leaf shining from the
coin's centre in matte proof finish are magnified in stunning scale. The
obverse of the coin features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
created by portrait artist Susanna Blunt in 2003.
No more than 10 of these made-in-Canada masterpieces are available to
collectors of rare and exclusive coins. Their price is based on a combination
of the gold market rate at the time of purchase, plus a premium for
manufacturing and a very low mintage.
Customers interested in this product should contact the Mint directly at
1-800-267-1871 in Canada or 1-800-268-6468 in the US. They may also visit the
Mint at its PDAC 2020 booth.
