A right-facing profile of Queen Elizabeth II adorns the obverse of the Gold Maple Leaf coin. This version of Her Majesty was created in 2003 by Canadian artist Susanna Blunt and is the first coin to show the Queen without a crown. Since ascending to the throne of the United Kingdom in 1952, all Canadian coinage has featured one version or another of Queen Elizabeth II.

The reverse of the Gold Maple Leaf coin is adorned with the beloved Maple Leaf, which prevails as the unofficial emblem of Canada. This particular design of the Maple Leaf was created in 1979 for the Royal Canadian Mint by master engraver Walter Ott. 

The Canadian Gold Maple Leaf is considered legal tender. Due to the consistency of its design and mintage, the Gold Maple Leafs are regarded as the standard by which other 24-karat gold bullion coins are judged.
