1 oz. Pure Gold Coin – Ultra-High Relief Gold Maple Leaf
About
The first GML engraved in ultra-high relief.
An elevated take on a classic, this is the first ever ultra-high relief Gold Maple Leaf (GML) coin. Struck in a reverse proof finish (frosted field, brilliant relief), the gleaming collectible boasts an impressive peak relief height of 1.8 mm on its reverse, resulting in a more dimensional rendering of the GML’s namesake leaf than ever before.
Behind the scenes, there’s also a personal connection: the relief was sculpted by retired Senior Engraver Susan Taylor, who previously worked under the tutelage of the late Walter Ott, creator of this world-famous leaf portrait.

Features
The first UHR GML
This is the first ultra-high relief (UHR) Gold Maple Leaf (GML) coin issued by the Royal Canadian Mint. Crafted in 1 oz. of 99.99% pure gold, this exquisite collectible offers a more dimensional view of the GML’s namesake leaf than ever before.
Ultra high
The reverse features an extraordinary peak relief height of 1.8 mm—much higher than the standard 0.23 mm you’d normally see on a piece this size.
Reverse proof finish
Set against a frosted field, the ultra-high relief dazzles thanks to a mirror-like shine that reflects maximum light.
