Pièce 1 once or Feuille d'érable canadienne : Mine de source unique - mine Meliadine 2022 | Monnaie royale canadienne

All over the world, precious metal buyers increasingly care about how their gold is mined and where it comes from. In response to the value now placed on responsible and transparent metal sourcing, the Royal Canadian Mint is pleased to introduce a special edition Gold Maple Leaf bullion coin composed of pure gold sourced entirely from a single source: Agnico Eagle’s Meliadine mine in Nunavut, Canada.

In the Mint’s first-ever single source mine pure gold coin, Meliadine’s responsibly mined gold is paired with the exceptional reputation of the Gold Maple Leaf bullion brand, trusted worldwide as the purest and most secure bullion coin on today’s market. A privy mark of a globe-cradling hand symbolizes the single provenance of the coin’s 99.99% pure gold. It also indicates that the coin is the product of a segregated refinement process that maintains the integrity of the gold throughout its refining journey, from mine to mint.
