The 2025 1/10 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Uncirculated coin continues the Royal Canadian Mint’s proud legacy of producing some of the world's most trusted and highest-purity gold bullion. Struck from 1/10 troy ounce of 99.99% pure gold, this fractional issue balances accessibility with the series’ hallmark precision and security. Introduced as part of the Maple Leaf program’s expansion into fractional sizes in 1982, the 1/10 oz Gold Maple Leaf remains a favorite among investors and collectors for its affordability, portability, and iconic Canadian design. The 2025 release adds historical significance as the second to feature King Charles III.
The Canadian Gold Maple Leaf was first launched in 1979 as the world’s first .999 fine gold bullion coin outside the South African Krugerrand. In 1982, the Royal Canadian Mint raised the standard to .9999 fine gold and added fractional sizes, including the 1/10 oz denomination. The 2025 edition preserves the ultra-high purity that has made the Maple Leaf series one of the most recognized and respected gold bullion coins worldwide. Its compact size makes it especially attractive to new investors or those seeking flexibility in physical gold holdings.
The obverse of the 2025 1/10 oz Gold Maple Leaf bears the effigy of King Charles III, designed by Canadian artist Steven Rosati. The monarch’s left-facing profile, a change from the right-facing portraits of Queen Elizabeth II, appears for only the second time in the series’ history, marking a new chapter in Canadian coinage. The inscriptions “CHARLES III,” “D·G·REX” (By the Grace of God, King), and the year “2025” encircle the portrait, along with the coin’s legal tender face value of “5 DOLLARS.” In Uncirculated (BU) condition, this side features brilliant fields, a crisp strike, and finely rendered details consistent with the Mint’s rigorous quality standards.
The reverse showcases the iconic sugar maple leaf designed by Walter Ott, a motif that has defined the series since its inception. The leaf is sharply detailed with lifelike texture and prominent veins, symbolizing Canadian identity and the natural richness of the nation’s landscape. Around the central image are the inscriptions “CANADA,” “FINE GOLD 1/10 OZ OR PUR,” and “9999” purity indicators on either side of the leaf. In Uncirculated condition, the coin displays a flawless blend of frosted and brilliant textures, with the intricate radial line background creating a light-diffraction effect that enhances both appearance and security.
The 1/10 oz Gold Maple Leaf measures 16 mm in diameter and weighs precisely 3.11 grams. Despite its small size, the coin contains the same state-of-the-art anti-counterfeiting features as its larger counterparts. These include precisely machined radial lines and a micro-engraved maple leaf security mark on the reverse, inside of which the digits “25” are laser-etched and visible only under magnification. These advanced technologies ensure the authenticity of every coin and reflect the Royal Canadian Mint’s global leadership in bullion security.
The legal tender denomination of 5 Canadian dollars reinforces the coin’s official status, even though its market value is based on the global price of gold. Each coin is backed by the full faith of the Canadian government for its weight and purity, giving investors confidence in its legitimacy and liquidity. The 1/10 oz size is particularly advantageous for those looking to diversify a gold portfolio into smaller increments, making it easier to sell, trade, or gift individual coins without having to part with a full ounce of gold at once.
Uncirculated 2025 Gold Maple Leafs are struck to Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) standards, meaning they exhibit no signs of wear and retain full mint luster. Although not proof coins, BU strikes offer crisp detail and a clean finish, often appearing in mint-sealed plastic pouches, tubes, or sheets. Collectors and investors may also choose to have these coins professionally graded and encapsulated by third-party services such as PCGS or NGC, particularly to preserve the coin’s condition and enhance resale value.
The 2025 issue carries additional numismatic interest as the second to feature King Charles III, following the historic end of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign. This transition has sparked renewed attention to Canadian coinage and royal portraiture, especially among collectors who assemble annual Maple Leaf sets or track changes across monarchic transitions. While the reverse design remains unchanged to maintain brand continuity, the new obverse contributes to the evolving visual story of the Maple Leaf series.
Fractional Gold Maple Leafs like the 1/10 oz coin offer unparalleled flexibility for gold buyers. They are ideal for investors building positions incrementally or for those who wish to keep small-denomination coins for use in emergency preparedness or barter scenarios. Their compact format also makes them excellent gifts for milestone occasions, educational tools for new collectors, or components of mixed-portfolio storage strategies.
The Royal Canadian Mint adheres to the highest environmental and ethical standards, ensuring that the gold used in each 2025 Gold Maple Leaf is responsibly sourced. As a member of the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA), the Mint guarantees that its bullion products meet internationally recognized good delivery and sourcing practices, a growing concern among socially conscious investors.
The 2025 1/10 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Uncirculated coin delivers exceptional quality, recognized purity, and timeless design in a compact format. With advanced security, iconic imagery, and official government backing, it remains one of the most trusted fractional gold bullion coins available. Whether acquired for portfolio diversification, collecting, or gifting, this coin exemplifies the precision and integrity that define the Royal Canadian Mint’s global reputation in 2025 and beyond.
