| Additional information |
The "GML" in the series designation refers to Gold Maple Leaf, a program the Royal Canadian Mint launched in 1979 as a direct competitive response to the South African Krugerrand's dominance of the global bullion market. Canada's initial offering was .999 fine; the Mint pushed purity to .9999 in 1982, a specification that became a permanent point of distinction. The one-tenth ounce denomination within this series targets smaller investors and gift buyers, and has been issued in consistent annual runs with minimal interruption across the date range.
In 2013, the Mint introduced laser-engraved radial lines on the field as an anti-counterfeiting measure — a response to a documented influx of fake Maple Leafs identified in Asian markets.
