1/20 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin

The 1/20 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin is the smallest denomination in the Royal Canadian Mint’s iconic Gold Maple Leaf series. First introduced in 1993, this ultra-fractional gold coin offers the same world-renowned purity, security, and design excellence as its larger counterparts, all in a highly affordable and collectible format. With .9999 fine gold content and official backing from the Government of Canada, the 1/20 oz Gold Maple Leaf is a trusted option for those seeking flexibility in acquiring sovereign gold.

Key Features:

  • Purity: Each 1/20 oz Gold Maple Leaf is struck from 99.99% pure gold (24 karats), making it one of the purest fractional gold coins available. It contains exactly 0.05 troy ounces of fine gold, with no alloy or filler metals added.

  • Design: The obverse features a right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, along with the coin’s denomination and year of issue. The reverse displays the finely engraved sugar maple leaf, Canada’s national symbol, along with inscriptions denoting the coin’s weight and purity in both English and French. The Royal Canadian Mint’s signature security features—radial lines and micro-engraved maple leaf privy marks—help ensure authenticity, even in this miniature format.

  • Denomination: The coin carries a face value of 1 Canadian dollar (CAD), underscoring its legal tender status. While symbolic in relation to the coin’s intrinsic gold value, the face value confirms the coin's sovereign origin and authenticity.

  • IRA Eligibility: The 1/20 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf meets the IRS standards for inclusion in self-directed Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) in the United States. With its .9999 gold purity and sovereign mint origin, it is a qualified option for those diversifying their retirement holdings with physical gold.

Small yet mighty, the 1/20 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf combines precision, purity, and prestige—making it an ideal choice for collectors, gift-givers, and anyone seeking to accumulate gold in the most affordable government-issued format available.
