Buy a 1981 Maple 1oz Gold

Add a 1981 Canadian Gold Maple Leaf to your gold sack. As an early issue in the Royal Canadian Mint's long-running series, this coin is struck in one full troy ounce 999 fine (24-carat) gold. These bullion coins were first produced in 1979 and remain very popular among today's investors for their trusted gold content and high liquidity. Maple Leafs take their name from Canada's national symbol, which is prominently displayed on the reverse of the coin in a design created by engraver William Ott. His detailed sugar maple leaf motif is paired with Arnold Machin's portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, shown on the obverse of this 1981 gold coin. This desirable early-date Maple Leaf is a key addition to any collection of Canadian gold coins.

Description Specification Summary

1981 1oz Gold Canadian Maples

The 1oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf, introduced in 1979, is one of the world's most famous bullion coins, prized for its 24-carat gold purity and iconic design. These Royal Canadian Mint coins are highly sought-after by investors.

Classic Maple Leaf Reverse

Walter Ott's instantly recognisable and intricately detailed reverse design features the national symbol of Canada: the maple leaf. 'CANADA' appears above the design with 'FINE GOLD 1OZ OR PUR' below and '999' to either side.

Portrait Of Queen Elizabeth II

Early gold Maple Leafs feature Arnold Machin's refined portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on their obverse, used on Canadian coins issued from 1965 to 1989. 'ELIZABETH II' is shown above with '50 DOLLARS 1981' below.

One Ounce $50 999 Gold Coin

1981 Canadian gold Maple Leafs are made from 999 gold and offer investors one troy ounce (31.10 grams) of pure precious metal. Weighing in at 31.15 grams, these are a high-purity and widely recognised bullion product.

Royal Canadian Mint Bullion

Records suggest that 863,000 gold Maple Leaf coins were issued by the Royal Canadian Mint in 1981. Given they were released decades ago, our pre-owned coins will show minor marks and other age-typical signs of handling.
