Gold Maple Leafs, including the 1/10th oz version, are sure to hold their value over the years. The Royal Canadian Mint has mastered the art of minting a gold coin without needing to use a strengthening alloy. This has made the Maple Leaf coin a truly pure gold coin. That will never go out of favor with collectors. The coins themselves have changed little since their introduction by the Royal Canadian Mint in 1979. The Maple Leafs’ classic design still features the bust of Queen Elizabeth II on one side. Though, it should be noted, the queen has aged slightly since her original Maple Leaf portrait. The other side of the 1/10 oz gold Maple features a Canadian Maple Leaf. This, of course, is the national symbol of Canada. The coin, then, is striking visually, and an aesthetically pleasing addition to any coin collection.
