The Royal Canadian Mint's 2015-dated Gold Maple Leaf bullion coins will include a new security enhancement which will give the coins a newappearance. A complex radial line finish has been added across the background fields of both the obverse and reverse design.

The same enhancement had been added to the Silver Maple Leaf starting with the 2014-dated issue, providing a much different and distinct look forthe popular bullion issue. In a previous post, I had showcased some images of a 2014 Silver Maple Leaf that I had received in hand.

The second security feature is a micro-engraved laser mark present on the reverse of each coin. The mark consists of a textured maple leaf imagewith two digits placed at center representing the last two digits of the date of the coin.
