Big Maple Leaf

Common card · No. 456930

The Big Maple Leaf (BML) is a $1 million (CAD) gold coin weighing 100 kilograms (220 lb) (3,215 troy ounces). A set of five of these coins was produced by the Royal Canadian Mint (RCM) in 2007, at their Ottawa facility where the first BML produced remains in storage. The Big Maple Leaf was recognized by the Guinness World Records in 2007 not only for its status as the world's biggest gold coin but also for its unparalleled gold purity of 99.999 per cent. On 27 March 2017, one of the coins, valued approximately US$4 million at the time, was stolen from the Bode Museum in Berlin. As of September 2025, the market value of a single Big Maple Leaf had reached $12 million (USD). The Big Maple Leaf remained the largest gold coin ever minted until 2011, when the 1-tonne (2,200-pound) Australian Gold Nugget ("Gold Kangaroo") was minted.
