| Additional information |
Canada's 1 oz. .9999 fine gold Maple Leaf has been issued continuously since 1979, making it one of the longest-running modern bullion programs of any sovereign mint. The four-nines purity standard was a deliberate competitive move against the Krugerrand, which contained only .9167 fine gold — the RCM used purity itself as the marketing differentiator, and it worked.
Later issues in the series incorporate a radial line security field and a micro-engraved privy mark visible only under magnification, introduced after concerns about sophisticated counterfeits entering the secondary market during the mid-2010s.
