2023 Canada Multifaceted Maple Leaf Pure Gold Fractional Set (No Tax)

2023 Canada Multifaceted Maple Leaf Pure Gold Fractional Set (No Tax)

Yours to admire! It is the symbol that inspires pride for all things Canadian, and in this pure gold fractional set, Canada’s beloved maple leaf makes a vivid impression thanks to multifaceted engraving. All four coins are impeccably crafted in 99.99% pure gold. Each coin features a reverse proof finish that puts the focus on the engraving, and with good reason—the various geometric shapes that form the maple leaf reflect light in unexpected ways, resulting in a dazzling multifaceted portrait.

Not all maple leaves turn red in the fall. Some Canadian maples, like the silver maple, are more likely to sport yellow or brownish leaves in the fall, but certain conditions (e.g., drought) can also impact the timing and intensity of a maple tree’s colourful fall transformation.

The four coins share the same reverse design by Calder Moore and feature a stylized depiction of a sugar maple (Acer saccharum) leaf. Each maple leaf is composed of intricately sculpted geometric shapes that give the Canadian emblem a more multi-faceted appearance; the engraved shapes also play with light and shadow in order to convey a sense of movement. On all four coins, the reverse includes the words “CANADA”, the coin’s purity and weight, and the year “2023”. Each obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.

Special Features:
• A multi-coin, Multifaceted celebration! Every coin in this fractional set is crafted in 99.99% pure gold, and for the first time, all four sizes—1 oz. (30 mm), ¼ oz. (20 mm), 1/10 oz. (16 mm) and 1/20 oz. (14.1 mm)— feature multifaceted engraving on the reverse. An RCM first!
• Impeccably Detailed! Already a challenging design element, the multifaceted portrait of the maple leaf seems more complex as the coins decrease in size.
• A rarity! This is the Royal Canadian Mint's only gold fractional set launching in 2022, and it features a lower mintage (450) than the 2022 pure gold fractional set. The engraved art and the precious metal content make this set a must-see and a must-have for any gold collector!
• Reverse proof! All four coins feature a reverse proof finish—brilliant relief on frosted/matte field—that puts extra emphasis on the engraving.
• Special packaging! The four-coin set comes packaged in a maple leaf-shaped case crafted from hard maple—the perfect complement to the coin design.

Packaging:
All four coins are individually encapsulated and presented side-by-side in a wooden case crafted from hard maple and shaped like a maple leaf. Inside the case, your coins are safely nestled in a black velvet insert, while the serialized certificate is held in place on the underside of the lid.
