Description

The 2022 Pure Gold 1 oz Coin – Ultra-High Relief Gold Maple Leaf (GML) is a breathtaking tribute to Canada’s most iconic bullion design, now elevated to new artistic heights. As the first-ever ultra-high relief (UHR) Gold Maple Leaf coin, this collectible masterpiece pushes the boundaries of numismatic craftsmanship with its extraordinary peak relief height of 1.8 mm, giving the maple leaf an unprecedented three-dimensional appearance. Struck in a reverse proof finish, the coin features a striking contrast between its frosted field and brilliant relief, making the intricate details of the maple leaf design even more mesmerizing. This exquisite gold coin is not just a collector’s item—it is a fusion of history, artistry, and premium minting technology.

Designed and sculpted by Susan Taylor, a retired Senior Engraver of the Royal Canadian Mint (RCM), this coin carries a profound legacy. Taylor, having worked under the late Walter Ott, the original creator of the world-famous Maple Leaf design, brings her own masterful touch to this ultra-high relief edition. The result is a breathtaking reinterpretation of Ott’s classic work, with the GML’s signature leaf emerging from the coin’s surface in spectacular relief. The exceptional detailing allows light to interact dynamically with every ridge and vein of the leaf, giving the design an almost lifelike appearance. Whether viewed up close or at an angle, the coin’s depth and precision demonstrate the Mint’s unmatched expertise in coin artistry.

With an extremely limited mintage of just 600 coins worldwide, this 2022 Ultra-High Relief Gold Maple Leaf is a true collector’s treasure. Each coin is struck from 1 oz (33.17 g) of 99.99% pure gold, ensuring the highest standard of purity and investment-grade quality. Measuring 30 mm in diameter with an edge featuring interrupted serrations, this coin is as unique in its technical specifications as it is in its design. The reverse proof finish enhances its luxurious appeal, making it a standout addition to any prestigious coin collection. Given its scarcity, this UHR GML is expected to be highly sought after by collectors and investors alike, solidifying its status as a modern numismatic masterpiece.

Adding to its exclusivity, the 2022 Pure Gold Ultra-High Relief GML comes with a serialized certificate of authenticity from the Royal Canadian Mint, attesting to its authenticity and limited-edition status. Each coin is securely encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell case, housed within a sleek black beauty box for elegant presentation and protection. This premium packaging ensures the coin remains in pristine condition, preserving its investment value and aesthetic appeal.

The 2022 UHR Gold Maple Leaf Coin holds a face value of CAD 200, reflecting its official status as a legal tender gold coin backed by the Canadian government. However, its intrinsic gold value, artistic merit, and extreme rarity make it far more valuable in the eyes of collectors and investors. Additionally, this coin is exempt from GST/HST (where applicable), making it an even more attractive acquisition for those looking to add ultra-premium gold collectibles to their portfolio.
