1/2 oz. Gold Maple Leaf coins are minted by the Royal Canadian Mint. Up until the Gold Maple leaf was introduced in 1979, the South African Krugerrand constituted the only bullion coin on the market. However, importing the coin was prohibited until 1994, due to the economic boycott of South Africa as a result of Apartheid. This was majorly beneficial to the Gold Maple Leaf and allowed it develop and become one of the most popular bullion coins in the world.
