The Canadian Gold Maple Leaf and Silver Maple Leaf are two of the longest running series of 99.99% fine gold and 99.99% fine silver coins in the world. That's 24k gold and 24k silver—pure gold and silver. They were first struck and 1979 and have been minted every year since by the world-renowned Royal Canadian Mint. They are a great way to own gold and silver, and many dates are highly collectible when graded near-perfect MS69 and perfect MS70 by NGC and PCGS.
