History

Canadian Maple Leaf Gold Coins debuted in 1979 with only 1 oz gold available, but expanded over the decades to offer investors four fractional-ounce coins and a 1 Gram gold option as well. The 1/4 oz and 1/10 oz coins debuted in 1982, these 1/2 oz gold coins in 1986, the 1/20 oz gold coin in 1993, and the 1 Gram gold coin in 2014. The only coin ever removed was the 1/15 oz gold coin offered only in 1994 to mark the 15th anniversary of the series debut.
