These coins, along with the original 1 oz version, helped establish the series reputation for 24-karat gold purity. **Obverse** The obverse of the 2001 Gold Maple Leaf Coin features Queen Elizabeth II in right-profile. The portrait used was created by Dora de Pedery-Hunt in 1990. It shows the Queen wearing the George IV State Diadem. Notably, this was the first Canadian coin portrait of Elizabeth II made by a Canadian artist. **Reverse** On the reverse, the sugar maple leaf design appears. This artwork was designed by Walter Ott in 1979 and has been featured on all bullion versions of the Maple Leaf Series in gold, silver, platinum, and palladium. **History** The Gold Maple Leaf coin debuted in 1979 with a 1 oz gold option made from .999 fine gold.
