Obverse
The obverse side of the 1 oz. Canadian Gold Maple Leaf bullion coin displays the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain.
The obverse design of the Queen was created by Susanna Blunt.
Her initials "SB," although they are very hard to see, are located at the top of the Queen's shoulder.
"ELIZABETH II" is inscribed across the top of the gold bullion coins.
The 1 oz. gold bullion coin has the Face Value of "50 DOLLARS" and the year the coin was issued is inscribed across the bottom of the coin.
In 2015, the Royal Canadian Mint added the radial lines to make it harder for counterfeiters to reproduce the coins, these lines are inscribed on both sides of the gold bullion coin.
Reverse
The reverse side of the 1 oz. Canadian Gold Maple Leaf bullion coin features the National symbol of Canada, the Maple Leaf.
The design of the Maple Leaf was created by Walter Ott.
Above the golden maple leaf, "CANADA" is inscribed across the top of the gold bullion coins.
Along the bottom of the gold coin its Weight and Purity is inscribed as, "FINE GOLD 1 OZ OR PUR."
The purity of the coin "9999" fine gold, is inscribed on both sides of the golden maple leaf.
The edge of the gold bullion coin is Reeded.
In 2013, for added security, the Royal Canadian Mint added a Laser engraved feature to the 1oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf bullion coin's reverse side.
The new security mark is a Micro-Engraved Maple Leaf design produced by the Mint’s use of laser technology.
Inside of the laser engraved maple leaf is the numeral “17” indicating the coin’s year of issue, which is more easily visible under magnification.
