The Royal Canadian Mint introduced its Canadian Maple Leaf bullion coins in 1979. The series first featured a 1 oz gold coin in 1979 and that remained the only coin available in the collection through late 1982. Subsequent years saw both the introduction of fractional-ounce coins and other metallic versions of the Canadian Maple Leaf.

In 1988, the Royal Canadian Mint introduced the Silver Maple Leaf and the Platinum Maple Leaf. In 2005, the series expanded to its final metal with the release of the Palladium Maple Leaf. In the gold series, expansion came in waves as new weights were added in 1982, 1986, 1993, and 2014. The 1/2 oz gold coin debuted in 1986.

Queen Elizabeth II is on the obverse side of 2022 1/2 oz Gold Maple Leaf Coins. This effigy of the Queen was created by Susanna Blunt in 2003. The fourth-generation portrait of the Queen to grace Canadian coins, it is the first portrait during Elizabeth II’s reign as Queen of England to lack a crown within the design.

A sugar maple leaf is found on the reverse field of 2022 Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coins.
