RCM Introduces “Maplegram25” Innovative One Gram Gold Bullion Coin Product

September 24, 2014 By Michael Alexander Leave a Comment

The Royal Canadian Mint has launched their newest bullion coin offering called the “Maplegram25” consisting of one gram gold bullion coins packaged in a 25 piece folder-format that the RCM hopes will be highly attractive to first time precious metal buyers and seasoned investors alike.

The distinctive one gram legal tender pure gold coins in “Maplegram25” retain a bullion finish and are packaged in a divisible blister card that individually serializes each coin for added security and authenticity. The card fits in a branded protective sleeve on which is printed an assay certificate certifying the purity and weight of the coins, which are Canadian legal tender coins with a 50 cent face value.

Maplegram25 will be produced to demand and is now available through bullion dealers worldwide. The design of the coin includes a simple single maple leaf depiction on the reverse, it is essentially a miniature of the world renowned Maple leaf gold ounce coin so familiar to coin collectors and bullion investors alike since 1979. The obverse side includes the current effigy of HM Queen Elizabeth II as used on all circulation and many commemorative coins in Canada since 2003 and designed by Susanna Blunt.
