The 1/4oz coin is minted in 99.99% purity with a face value of $10 CAD backed by the Canadian government.
The obverse of all Canadian Maple Leaf coins features the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. From 1979 to 1989, an image of the 39-year-old Queen appeared on the obverse, followed by a 64-year-old depiction from 1990 to 2004. Susanna Blunt designed a new portrait of Her Majesty in 2003 that debuted on the coin in 2005. On coins dated 2024 and beyond they feature the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
On the reverse of the coin, you’ll find the sugar maple leaf design that has appeared on the coins since its 1979 introduction. The maple leaf is the national emblem of Canada, appearing on its national flag and was created for this coin by RCM engravers.
A full sheet of the 1/4 oz Maple Leaf contains 20 coins, which is the most popular way to acquire these items.
