2026 Canada $1 30th Anniversary of Canada’s Arboreal Emblem - 0.5 g Pure Gold Coin

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.


Features:

  • Beauty and value combined. Celebrate the 30th anniversary of Canada’s arboreal emblem with a miniature (11 mm) maple showcase crafted in 99.99% pure gold.
  • Our smallest gold collector coin. With a diameter of just 11 millimetres (smaller than a dime), this half-gram (0.5 g) gold coin features a surprising amount of finely engraved details for such a small canvas.
  • Affordable gold option. Some of the purest gold is within your reach! This coin’s small size and weight make it an affordable gold option for collectors, and an excellent starting point for a gold coin collection.
  • Canada’s beloved maples. Nothing says “Canada” like a maple leaf, and it continues to be one of our most popular coin themes.
  • Limited mintage. Mintage is limited to 20,000 coins worldwide.
  • Includes serialized certificate. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
  • No GST/HST.


Design:

The reverse design by Canadian artist Nathalie Lagacé is double-dated (“1996 2026”) to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Canada’s arboreal emblem, the maple tree (g. Acer); it features two silver maple (Acer saccharinum) leaves presented in a natural, realistic style. The foremost leaf appears larger than the rear one, whose curled basal lobe evokes the feeling of movement and a gentle breeze. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.

Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a maroon Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.
