Royal Canadian Mint
A leaf, unchanged since 1979.
You are looking at the side with the maple leaf.
The maple leaf was designed by the engraver Walter Ott for the first Gold Maple Leaf of 1979. According to the Royal Canadian Mint, it has remained unchanged ever since.
The Gold Maple Leaf was intended as a three-year trial. It was so successful that in 1981 the Canadian Parliament decided to issue it permanently.
9999
This is how it appears beside the leaf: 99.99 per cent fine gold. In 1982, according to the Mint, the Gold Maple Leaf was the world’s first bullion coin of this purity.

What lies in the details
Below the large leaf sits a small maple leaf, micro-engraved by laser. At its centre is the number 26 for the year of issue, visible only under magnification.
Every die bears this mark. The Mint captures it under a microscope and stores it in encrypted form. A verification device later reads it like a fingerprint and matches the coin to its die.
The fine lines in the field are machined on the master tooling to micrometre precision, so that they turn out the same on every coin. The width and spacing of the lines create a pattern that refracts the light and is characteristic of this coin.
