Detailed product description
The gold Maple Leaf is an investment coin issued by the Royal Canadian Mint. The gold Maple Leaf has a purity of 99,99% and weighs exactly 1 troy ounce (31,10 grams). It was also the first gold coin in the worl in which a purity content of 999,9/1.000 was reached.
 

The Maple Leaf

The Canadian gold Maple Leaf is produced annually by the Royal Canadian Mint and was introduced for the first time by the Canadian dominion in 1979. 
 
This is why the Maple Leaf was the first 1 troy ounce coin with a pure gold content of 99,9% (only 99,99% pure gold content) and a fierce competitor for the Krugerrand, which was more difficult to obtain due to different boycots against the Apartheid regime.
 

Purity & weight

The gold Maple Leaf has a purity of 999,9/1.000 (24 carats) and is the world's first gold coin that reached this highest achievable purity rate. The Maple Leaf weighs exactly 31,10 grams (1 troy ounce). Thanks to this purity, the Maple Leaf is a real investment currency and is very easy to trade worldwide.
 

Dessign of the Maple Leaf

A maple leaf is displayed on the front of the coin - the national symbol of Canada - with purity on both sides (9999). At the top of the coin you'll see 'Canada' and at the bottom you'll find the weight, expressed in English and French: 'fine gold 1 oz' and '1 oz or pur'.
 
On Maple Leafs, which have been struck since 2013, you will find a smaller version of the leaflet below the large centered maple leaf containing the year of issue of the coin. The special micrograving techniques used by the Canadian Royal Mint for the design of that small maple leaf guarantee the authenticity of the coin. In addition, all Maple Leafs have a laser engraved surface since 2015.
 
The back of the Maple Leaf has the portrait and the name of Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of the Commonwealth of Nations. Under her image you will find the nominal value and the year of issue of the currency.
 

Buying a gold Maple Leaf

The Maple Leaf and other gold coins are perfectly suitable as a purchase of physical gold. Gold coins are not taxed because they are considered monetary gold. And while all the gold coins offered by Argentor have been tested for authenticity, they are not delivered with a certificate of authenticity. That, unlike gold bars.

Alles is wel goed georganiseerd. Eerst een voorschot betalen en onmiddellijk daarna het volledige bedrag! Kassa, kassa. Ik heb ook eens het verschil bekeken tussen aankoop en verkoop. Dat is wel heel groot, vind ik. Jullie zijn zeker geen liefdadigheidsinstelling. Maar dat beweren jullie ook niet natuurlijk! De organisatie is wel prima, maar mag ook !
