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.
