1 Dollar - Elizabeth II Fractional GML, 1/20 oz

The "Fractional GML" designation refers to the Royal Canadian Mint's Gold Maple Leaf fractional series, which expanded aggressively in the early 2010s to capture bullion buyers seeking lower entry-price points. The 1/20 oz denomination sits at the smallest practical size for a struck gold coin before minting tolerances and handling losses become economically irrational — the RCM's .9999 fineness specification, the purest standard in mass-produced sovereign bullion at the time, makes this more technically demanding to strike cleanly than lower-purity alloys, which are harder and more forgiving under the dies.
