1/4 Troy ounce gold Maple Leaf coins

The 1/4 troy ounce gold Maple Leaf coins are a popular choice among investors and collectors of precious metals. These coins are issued by the Royal Canadian Mint and are made of pure gold with a purity of 99.99%. Weighing 1/4 Troy ounce, which equals about 7.78 grams, these coins have a smaller size compared to the 1 ounce variety. This makes them more manageable and affordable for people, who are interested in investing in gold, but with smaller budgets.
 
The gold Maple Leaf coins are named after Canada's national symbol, the maple leaf. The obverse of the coin always features a detailed image of a maple leaf.
 
The 1/4 Troy ounce gold Maple Leaf coins are legal tender in Canada, but due to the higher value of the gold, they are usually traded based on their intrinsic value. Recognised and traded worldwide, they are a popular choice because of their high purity and the excellent reputation of the Royal Canadian Mint.

Maple Leaf coins as an investment

The Maple Leaf coin is a very popular choice among investors, who are interested in buying gold. The Maple Leaf coin has excellent quality and is struck in the highest grade of gold, namely 24 carats or pure gold. Since the coin is known as an aesthetic coin of exceptional quality, it is highly marketable worldwide.
 
The newer Maple Leaf coins have radial lines. These are decorative lines, radiating from the centre of the coin to the edge. These lines are extremely difficult to reproduce exactly and therefore the coins are very difficult to counterfeit. This is because the radial lines can vary in thickness, spacing and pattern, depending on the design of the coin.
