Obverse

For the obverse design of the 1986 Canadian Gold Maple Leaf, the second-generation portrait of Queen Elizabeth II features in the design field. This bust of the Queen was created in 1965 by Arnold Machin for the Royal Mint and depicts the Queen at the age of 39.

Reverse

In the reverse field of the 1986 1/10 oz Gold Maple Leaf, you will find the sugar maple leaf. Designed in 1979 by Walter Ott, this naturalistic take on the emblem of Canada remains on the reverse of the coins today and has proliferated across the silver, platinum, and palladium versions as well.

History

Canadian Gold Maple Leaf 1 oz coins debuted in 1979 to rival the South African Krugerrand, then available in only 1 oz gold as well. The South African Krugerrand expanded the next year to include three fractional-ounce coins, and the Royal Canadian Mint would eventually expand the Gold Maple Leaf between 1982 and 1986 to include those same three options. The Royal Canadian Mint would eventually go further in introducing a 1/20 oz coin in 1993 and a 1 Gram coin in 2014.
