The 1998 1oz Gold Maple Leaf Bullion Coin forms part of the mature 1990s and early-2000s run of Canada’s flagship gold bullion series. Struck in one troy ounce of .9999 fine gold, it reflects the period when the Gold Maple Leaf was already firmly established as one of the world’s leading investment coins.
The reverse features Walter Ott maple leaf reverse, one of the most recognisable national emblems in modern bullion coinage. The obverse features Queen Elizabeth II (Dora de Pédery-Hunt effigy), placing the coin within its correct Canadian monarch portrait period and helping distinguish it from neighbouring dates.
Dates from this period are often collected as part of the established Queen Elizabeth II run, offering a balance of bullion liquidity and date-run appeal. Well-preserved examples remain desirable for collectors completing the 1990s and early-2000s sequence.
