Canadian Maple Leaf 1 oz Palladium 2009
The Canadian Maple Leaf, is one of the most recognisable bullion coins in the world. The palladium Maple Leaf was minted between 2005 and 2007 and in 2009 at the Royal Canadian Mint - a renowned and well-known Canadian mint among investors that offers investment in precious metals through a product that can easily be resold later at a profit. The currency is distinguished by its high liquidity when willing to buy/sell and by its particularly admired image on the reverse. The Royal Canadian Mint was officially opened in 1908 by Governor General Earl Grey, minting the first fifty-cent coin produced on Canadian soil. After the coin began to be issued, the only competitor to the coin was the South African Krugerrand, but due to the apartheid boycott, this was not available to the general public. This made the maple leaf gold coins very popular.Annual production of palladium is 200 tonnes, which, as with platinum, means that demand outstrips supply, as it is a metal that is not very popular with investors, but very popular in industry and metallurgy. It does not react with air or water, so we can be sure that our coin will not get a white tarnish, as is often the case with silver. It is a malleable metal, so it is advisable to take care of its protection when purchasing.
