The 2020 1oz Gold Maple Leaf Bullion Coin is part of the security-enhanced modern era of the series. Struck in one troy ounce of .9999 fine gold, it combines the classic maple leaf design with radial lines and a micro-engraved security mark for stronger visual authentication.
The reverse features Walter Ott maple leaf reverse with radial lines and micro-engraved security mark, one of the most recognisable national emblems in modern bullion coinage. The obverse features Queen Elizabeth II (Susanna Blunt effigy), placing the coin within its correct Canadian monarch portrait period and helping distinguish it from neighbouring dates.
Modern security-era Gold Maple Leafs are collected for their bullion content, technical finish and clear year-by-year continuity. The added anti-counterfeiting features make these later issues easy to identify within the wider series.
