The obverse of the 2026 1/2 oz Gold Maple Leaf Coin highlights the inaugural Canadian effigy of King Charles III. This left-profile portrait depicts the monarch without a crown and was created by Canadian artist Steven Rosati. It marks only the third time a Canadian artist has designed a portrait of a British monarch for the nation’s coinage.

Featured on the reverse of the 2026 Canadian Gold Maple Leaf is the original sugar maple leaf design by Walter Ott. Debuted in 1979, this image has become a defining symbol of the Maple Leaf series and appears across a variety of formats in the Gold, Silver, Platinum, and Palladium Maple collections.

While sugar maples produce winged seeds called samaras that can disperse several hundred feet from the parent tree, their expansion is gradual and often limited by temperature and moisture requirements, making them less adaptable to rapid environmental changes than more resilient maple species.

These 2026 1/2 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leafs are individually packaged in plastic flips or arrive in sealed plastic sheets of 10 coins. While the Canadian Maple Leaf Series debuted in 1979, the 1/2 oz Gold Maple did not debut until 1986 as the third fractional-ounce coin.
