Description
New product from Royal Canadian Mint! Each 25 gram MapleGram25™ is part of a divisible blister pack of twenty five one gram coins and comes wrapped in an elegant sleeve.
Each coin has a distinct serial number on the blister pack which when broken down into singles acts as an individual certicard with the weight and purity written on it. The sleeve that holds the blister pack contains the assay certificate to verify weight and purity written right on it.
Design
The reverse design features the iconic Canadian Maple Leaf that has featured on the Royal Canadian Mint’s standard Gold Maple Leaf bullion coins. On either side of the leaf are the number 9999 representing the purity of gold which the coins are made from – 999.9 fine gold. The weight of 1g is also indicated along the bottom rim.
The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Canadian artist Susanna Blunt, along with the words “ELIZABETH II”, the face value “50 CENTS” and the date “2015”.
History
The MapleGram25 was first launched by the Royal Canadian Mint in September 2014 as part of a new initiative to present gold bullion coins in a unique and versatile way.
