30th Anniversary of Canada’s Arboreal Emblem – Pure Gold Coin (2026)

Marking a maple milestone in affordable gold.

Canadians see the maple leaf as a popular emblem that proudly expresses our identity and culture, and our national tree, the maple (g. Acer), is an extension of that national pride. As we mark the 30th anniversary of Canada’s arboreal emblem in 2026, this small-sized (11 mm) 99.99% pure gold coin honours the significance of the maple tree and its cultural importance across Canada, where the maple is more than a landscape feature—it’s part of who we are, a symbol of Canada’s sovereignty intertwined with our distinct spirit, history, heritage and values.

Beauty meets value with this 0.5 g pure gold coin.
