1/10 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin

The 1/10 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin is the smallest regularly issued denomination in Canada’s prestigious Gold Maple Leaf series. First introduced in 1982 by the Royal Canadian Mint, this fractional coin offers the same exceptional purity and iconic design as its larger counterparts, packaged in an ultra-convenient size. With its .9999 fine gold content, government backing, and advanced security features, the 1/10 oz Gold Maple Leaf is an ideal option for collectors and individuals seeking an affordable way to acquire sovereign gold.

Key Features:

  • Purity: Each 1/10 oz Gold Maple Leaf is struck from 99.99% pure gold (24 karats), with no added alloy. The coin contains exactly 0.10 troy ounces of fine gold, making it one of the purest fractional gold coins available in the global bullion market.

  • Design: The obverse features a right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, accompanied by the coin’s face value and year of issue. The reverse showcases the national emblem of Canada—the sugar maple leaf—engraved with fine detail and inscriptions denoting the weight and purity in both English and French. Since 2013, security enhancements such as radial line textures and a micro-engraved maple leaf privy mark have been included to deter counterfeiting.

  • Denomination: The coin carries a face value of 5 Canadian dollars (CAD), reaffirming its legal tender status. Though symbolic relative to its intrinsic gold value, the face value reflects the coin’s standing as an official government-issued product.

  • IRA Eligibility: The 1/10 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf meets IRS standards for inclusion in self-directed Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) in the United States. Its .9999 purity, widespread market acceptance, and trusted production by a sovereign mint make it a secure and flexible choice for long-term holdings.

Compact, cost-effective, and exceptionally pure, the 1/10 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf offers a practical and trusted way to acquire government-backed gold in fractional form—ideal for both newcomers and seasoned collectors alike.
