Canadian Maple Leaf Gold Coin The Canadian Maple Leaf is minted by the Royal Canadian Mint. The Canadian maple leaf gold coin displays the maple leaf. The writing is in English and French. The reverse side shows a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II (portrait changes: 1979-89, 1990-2003, 2004- current), the value and minting year. Due to its 99.99% gold purity, the Royal Canadian Mint markets its gold Maple Leaf coin as the "international symbol of purity." The gold Maple Leaf has been produced since 1979 - it was minted with 0.999 fine gold for the first four years- before increasing the gold content to 0.9999 fine in 1983. Its value ranges from 1 to 50 Canadian dollar, depending on its actual weight (1/20 to 1 ounce). In 1982, the Royal Canadian Mint produced 1/4 and 1/10 ounce coins, in 1986 1/2 ounce and in 1993 coins with a value of 1/20 ounce. Between 1994 and 1996 there was also a 1/15 ounce Maple Leaf. The actual gold content these coins is 1.0 troy ounce or 31.103 grams and coins are minted with a face value of $1, $5, $10, $20 or $50 and are legal tender. The Canadian maple leaf gold coin was originally minted at .999 purity, but in 1982 the Royal Canadian Mint produced a .9999 pure gold coin. However due to the lack of hardening metals these .9999 gold coins are soft and prone to scratch marks if not handled with care. The biggest ever sold Maple Leaf was a 100 kg, with an official value of 1 Million Canadian Dollars. However, it was minted only five times. One was purchased by Oro Direct, a Spanish precious metal dealer in 2010 for 3,27m Euro. A second one belongs to Queen Elisabeth II, two to the Arabic Emirates and the last one is in personal ownership. Canadian gold bullion coins are highly popular on today’s gold market. .

HOW TO READ THE BILL REID BILL by JEFFREY DECLOEDT B.A., The University of British Columbia, 2004 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Art History) The University of British Columbia (Vancouver) October 2008 ©Jeffrey DeCloedt, 2008 11 ABSTRACT This thesis argues that the First Nations and their material culture have been used as tropes in the construction of national symbols on Canadian money. The twenty dollar bill from the 2004 series of Canadian banknotes, Canadian Journeys, was the impetus for this inquiry. The art of Bill Reid is featured on this banknote. Reid is an artist who identifies, on his mothers side, with the Haida First Nations and his art takes its themes and style from the Haida crest imagery. The implications of utilizing a First Nations artist on a Canadian banknote becomes problematic when considering the antagonistic historical relationship Canada has had with the First Nations and the multiplicity of unresolved land claims. Therefore, I ask, how this Bill Reid banknote should be read. In answering this question I have divided this thesis into three parts. First, I analyze a historical precedent for this contemporary banknote. The 1870 two dollar bill is useful for it both gives an example of the use of First Nations as a trope in representing the nation and it helps expose the importance of money as a national symbol at the time when Canada was struggling to come together as a modern nation. In the next section I analyze the Bill Reid bill as both a part of a symbolic construction of nation and as a material practice which has regional or territorial implications.
