A trusted investment piece since 1999, the Royal Canadian Mint’s renowned one-ounce gold wafer includes the latest, most advanced security enhancements for 2023. Expect the same unsurpassed quality and guaranteed craftsmanship as in all years past, including a market-leading purity (.9999 fine) that is a testament to the Mint’s world-famous minting and refining capabilities.

State-of-the-art security features include a uniform line pattern that adds a sleek contemporary design element to both the obverse and reverse. Using the same award- winning technology found on Canada’s $1 and $2 coins, each gold wafer features two textured maple leaf security marks, micro-engraved with laser technology and visible only under magnification. Etched within this maple leaf are two digits indicating the wafer’s production year.

The finely engraved vertical pattern in the front and back of the bar adds on to its enhanced security feature.
