| Additional information |
The Sugar Maple Majesty series sits at the upper end of the Royal Canadian Mint's bullion prestige program, with the 2018 kilogram issue carrying a face value that bears almost no relationship to its actual metal content — a legal fiction the RCM maintains across its high-denomination collector bullion line. Production on these kilogram pieces is tightly controlled, with mintage figures kept low enough that secondary market premiums dwarf the nominal denomination within months of release.
The .9999 fineness specification — four nines — has been the RCM's benchmark since the original Maple Leaf bullion program launched in 1979, at the time making it the purest gold coin in regular production anywhere in the world.
