| Reverse description | A dramatic high-relief depiction of three overlapping sugar maple leaves (Acer saccharum) occupying the majority of the reverse field, rendered with exceptional botanical detail showing veining and natural curvature. The leaves are shown on a shared stem, cascading slightly downward. The legend 'CANADA' arcs along the upper rim, while the date '2015' appears to the lower left of the design. Below the leaves, the bilingual purity and weight inscription 'FINE GOLD 1 OZ OR PUR' is inscribed along the lower rim, with the fineness designation '9999' positioned centrally beneath the leaf composition. The engraver's initials 'LC' appear to the right of the central stem. |

| Additional information |
The "GML" designation refers to the Royal Canadian Mint's proprietary Generational Mint Luster finish, introduced around 2015 as a production technique intended to enhance the reflective qualities of bullion-grade gold without crossing into proof territory. It occupies an awkward commercial middle ground — more than a standard bullion strike, less than a specimen issue — which has made its long-term collector acceptance uneven.
Canada's .9999 fine gold Maple Leaf series has held that four-nines purity standard since 1982, a full decade before most sovereign mints followed.
