New colour tech: Vivid Toning Effect elevates the natural beauty of the UHR Gold Maple Leaf.
When fall paints Canada’s landscapes, its colours are anything but flat—it imbues even the silhouette of a single maple leaf with a spectrum of vibrant hues.
That wondrous range is captured on the 2026 Ultra High Relief (UHR) Gold Maple Leaf (GML) coin, where Walter Ott’s classic maple leaf has been rendered in Ultra High Relief, polished to a high shine, and finished with our innovative new Vivid Toning Effect—a Mint first that produces intense colours with a foil-like finish. On this 99.99% pure gold coin, the colours tilt more toward a radiant crimson. The luminous effect is further amplified by a new maple-themed field pattern that is bursting with rays of light, reflecting endless pride in Canada’s autumnal elegance.
A dual-tech design: UHR with Vivid Toning Effect!
Special features
Your 2026 UHR GML. A collector favourite, the UHR Gold Maple Leaf (GML) is crafted in 1 oz. of 99.99% pure gold. Its iconic leaf features a peak relief height of 1.8 mm—higher than a typical 1 oz. GML.
The popular choice. The GML is one of our most popular annual offerings and it tends to sell out quickly—only 550 of these 2026 coins are available to collectors worldwide.
Also available in silver. The 2026 Ultra High Relief Silver Maple Leaf features the same inspired design and mix of technologies, but in 1 oz. of 99.99% pure silver.
Includes serialized certificate. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
