The Royal Canadian Mint (www.mint.ca.) has introduced a new 2024 $50 Gold Maple Leaf 1 oz. bullion coin, entirely sourced from Agnico Eagle’s Detour Lake mine in Ontario.
This coin, struck from 99.99% pure gold, is part of the Mint’s single-source initiative, highlighting its commitment to responsibly sourced gold and ethical mining practices.
“The Royal Canadian Mint is known worldwide for its refining prowess and innovation, as well as its robust environmental, social and governance practices. We are proud to once more showcase the purity and responsibility of our Gold Maple Leaf (GML) bullion coin by partnering with Agnico Eagle’s Detour Lake mine to issue our newest Single Mine GML coin," said Marie Lemay, President and CEO of the Royal Canadian Mint.
The reverse of the Mint’s newest gold coin showcases Walter Ott’s intricate engraving of a Sugar Maple leaf, emblematic of the Maple Leaf series. This design is framed by precisely crafted radial lines. Below, a micro-engraved maple leaf security mark, inscribed with the number "24" under magnification, denotes the coin’s year.
Adjacent, a privy mark of a hand holding a globe signifies the coin’s exclusive single-source origin.
"Agnico Eagle is proud to be a partner of choice as a trusted source of responsibly produced gold for the Royal Canadian Mint’s single-source mined gold bullion coin," said Ammar Al-Joundi, President and CEO of Agnico Eagle Mines. "After one from Meliadine in 2022, this is the second single mine gold bullion coin produced entirely from gold out of an Agnico Eagle operation."
The 2024 $50 Gold Maple Leaf Single Mine Bullion Coin is now available at select Costco stores across Canada, as well as online at www.costco.ca.
It is encapsulated in credit card-style packaging that includes a certificate of purity and authenticity signed by the Mint’s Chief Assayer.
