2021 Canada $200 Maple Leaf Celebration Piedfort Pure Gold (No Tax)

2021 Canada $200 Maple Leaf Celebration Piedfort Pure Gold (No Tax)

For generations, Canada's arboreal emblem has been engraved on many of our coins, and it has come to be associated with minting firsts and milestones-including the Royal Canadian Mint's first gold piedfort in 2010. Now, for 2021, the 2010 piedfort's maple leaf makes its distinguished return on this prestigious collectible, which honours the past while simultaneously blazing a trail as the Royal Canadian Mint's very first 1 oz. pure gold piedfort.

A spectacular maple celebration, your coin's reverse features a classically rendered leaf from a red maple (Acer rubrum) tree. Along with the word "CANADA", the gold purity standard of "9999" and the year "2021", the reverse includes a maple leaf privy mark denoting the 25th anniversary of Canada's national arboreal emblem, the maple tree (Acer). Enhanced by the coin's reverse proof finish, a maple leaf field pattern dazzles on both the reverse and the obverse, which features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
