Description
1999 1 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin
Since 1979, the 1 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf has been a dominant force in the gold bullion series. The 20th anniversary of the series arrived in 1999 and came amidst a period of rising demand for gold. The Y2K crisis drove demand for gold, with mintage figures in the Gold Maple Leaf Series rising each year from 1996 to 1999. Right now, 1999 1 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coins are available to purchase online.

Each of the 1999 1 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coins available in this listing comes with a protective plastic flip. The 1999 release of the 1 oz Gold Maple Leaf marked the highest mintage in the 1990s behind only the first issue of the decade, the 1990 coin.
The release of gold bullion coins around the world in the late 1990s was met with increased demand. From the American Gold Eagle and the British Gold Britannia to the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf, gold coins from mints around the world enjoyed spikes in interest and growing mintage figures. Following a then-record low in 1996, the 1 oz Gold Maple Leaf saw mintage figures rise year-over-year until 1999 when demand for gold amidst the Y2K crisis subsided.
Queen Elizabeth II is on the obverse of the 1999 Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin. Her Majesty is shown here in right-profile relief with the George IV State Diadem Crown on her head. This design was created in 1990 by Dora de Pedery-Hunt and is the first from a Canadian artist.
The sugar maple leaf features on the reverse side of 1999 1 oz Gold Maple Leaf Coins. In this design from Walter Ott, the sugar maple leaf is found in front-facing relief and is captured with beautiful, natural details.
