| Additional information |
Canada's one-ounce .9999 gold bullion series has been produced continuously since 1979, making the Maple Leaf one of the longest-running fine gold bullion programs of any national mint. Charles III coinage began appearing on Canadian issues following the proclamation of his accession in September 2022, with the RCM transitioning obverse dies across its product lines through 2023 and into 2024 — a logistical undertaking affecting hundreds of distinct catalog entries simultaneously. The .9999 fineness standard, which the RCM pioneered, was considered extraordinary at launch and forced competitor mints to eventually match it.
