Crafted To Become A Legend
In the days of the Apartheid, there was one coin that was desired above all others, the Kruggerand Gold Coin, valued both for its gold content and its design it was difficult to acquire due to economic sanctions on South Africa during that time. So it was that Master Engraver Walter Ott was inspired to order the creation of the maple leaf gold coin, and put the respected Stanley Witten in charge of a design that was to become one of Canada’s most popular coin. Easily obtainable with its quality guaranteed by a respected government, this 25mm disc of gold quickly became a favorite of investors and numismatists alike.
Beautiful in Form
Stanley Witten created nothing short of a masterpiece when he designed the Canadian Maple Leaf Gold Coin, and his many years of experience went into its design. The obverse side bears her majesty the Queen of England, Queen Elizabeth the II, with her name in delicate letters above her portrait, and “50 DOLLARS” and the year inscribed below. The reverse side bears a maple leaf, with the word “CANADA” above, framed by its purity (9999), with “FINE GOLD 1 OZ OR PUR” engraved below. Such a piece will find a worthy place among your collection, adding both beauty and security to your investment.
