The Canadian Palladium Maple Leaf 1 oz is one of the most popular palladium bullion coins on the market today and competes with the PAMP Suisse 1 oz palladium bar. Produced by the Royal Canadian Mint from 2005 through 2007 and again in 2009 the front of this bullion coin features the most recent portrait of Queen Elisabeth II. The front also displays the $50 Canadian face value and the date of manufacture.

The reverse features a stylized maple leaf; the Canadian national symbol. It also includes the word palladium with weight and purity. The Canadian Palladium Maple Leaf 1 oz trades for a small premium above its palladium weight and the legal tender value while symbolic is a big plus because it provides the guarantee of a sovereign nation.
