2015 1-OUNCE 99.99% PURE GOLD MAPLE LEAF BULLION COIN WITH UNIQUE SECURITY FEATURES THE GOLD STANDARD The Royal Canadian Mint’s Gold Maple Leaf (GML) coins are among the world’s most popular pure gold coins, having sold more than 25 million troy ounces since their introduction in 1979. The GML was also the first bullion coin to achieve the LAUNCH DATE: heightened standard of 9999 fine. November 2014 All 1-ounce 99.99% pure GML Bullion coins produced for 2015 and beyond will have two unique features for enhanced security. ENHANCED SECURITY New in 2015, replacing the bullion finish on earlier coins, the radial lines in the new 2015 GML’s field ENHANCED have been precisely machined to within microns ACTUAL SIZE SECURITY on the master tooling to ensure reproducibility from die to die and coin to coin. The uniqueness of the line width and pitch gives this coin a characteristic look, and creates a light diffracting pattern that is specific to this coin. In 2013, the Mint introduced a new and unique Security Feature to confirm the authenticity of its GML coins. Derived from the same award-winning security technology applied to Canada’s $1 and $2 circulation coins, the GML Security Feature consists of a textured maple leaf, micro engraved with laser technology on a small area of the reverse side (Maple Leaf side) of the coin. In the centre of this mark, visible under magnification, is the numeral “15”, denoting the coin’s year of issue. SPECIAL FEATURES: • World’s first 24-karat modern bullion coin. • Intricately micro-engraved design produced by the Mint’s innovative use of laser technology helps confirm the authenticity of the coin. • An attractive acquisition for both first-time precious metal buyers and long-term investors.
