The 50 Dollar Maple Leaf gold coin is the Royal Canadian's (RCM) flagship bullion product. Steeped in history, the Maple Leaf has consistently been a pioneer in the production of investment coins since its launch in 1979, and still leads the way with a 99.99% gold content.
The Maple Leaf was the first gold coin to contain a .9999 fineness and is the purest regular-issue gold coin on the bullion market. Manufactured with gold procured from Canadian mine, there is practically no trace of base metals. Subsequently, there are few gold coins that can match the 50 Dollar Maple Leaf as an investment asset.
The Maple Leaf are also recognized as legal tender in Canada, although the global popularity means they will be accepted by dealers and coin collectors anywhere in the world. Although the face value is $50 CAD, the actual value of the coins is worth much more in the present financial climate.
