Royal Canadian Mint Announces New Incuse Maple Leaf Bullion Coins and the Latest Issue of its Popular "Call of the Wild" 5-9s Pure Gold Series
OTTAWA, Ontario, April 2, 2019 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

The Royal Canadian Mint is launching three exciting new coins to precious metal 
investors looking for bullion coins that stand out for their purity, security 
and innovative design.  These include double-incuse Gold and Silver Maple Leaf 
bullion coins, available now.  The Mint's newest 99.999% pure gold "Call of the 
Wild" bullion coin features the moose and can be ordered as of April 2, 2019, 
when it starts shipping our network of official bullion distributors.

To mark the 40th anniversary of one of the world's favourite gold bullion 
coins, the Mint has crafted its first ever double-incuse version of its iconic 
Gold Maple Leaf (GML).  This means that the signature sugar maple leaf reverse 
design and the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II appearing on the 
obverse are struck in a concave relief. This fascinating perspective is also 
found on a 2019-dated Silver Maple Leaf (SML) bullion coin. 

Both the GML and SML have a finish consisting of an array of precisely machined 
radial lines and their reverses feature a micro-engraved security mark in the 
shape of a maple leaf containing the number "19", to denote their year of 
issue. They also feature the Mint's unique Bullion DNA anti-counterfeit 
technology, while the SML benefits from MINTSHIELD(TM) surface protection, 
specifically created for silver coins.  

The 2019-dated, "Moose" is the newest coin in the Mint's 99.999% pure gold 
bullion "Call of the Wild" series. Its $200 denomination represents the highest 
value legal tender among the world's 1 oz. gold bullion coins. The coin's 
reverse is designed by Canadian artist Pierre Leduc, who has boldly illustrated 
an imposing bull moose, behind which curved lines symbolize the sound of his 
unmistakable call. This gold bullion coin is presented in richly designed 
credit card-style packaging, which includes a certificate of purity signed by 
the Mint's Chief Assayer. 

Images and animations of this new coin are available here (

).   

In keeping with a distribution model common to the world's major issuers of 
bullion coins, the Mint does not sell bullion directly to the public.  
Interested buyers are encouraged to contact a reputable bullion dealer to order 
new bullion coins.
