A Legacy of Refinement: Royal Canadian Mint History & Innovation

Established in 1908 as a branch of the British Royal Mint, the Royal Canadian Mint became wholly Canadian-owned in 1931, following the country’s full legislative independence. Since then, it has evolved into one of the world’s most technologically advanced mints.

Key milestones:

• 1969: Royal Canadian Mint becomes a Crown corporation
• 1979: Launch of the Gold Maple Leaf, the world’s first 24-karat (.999) bullion coin
• 1982: First to issue .9999 fine gold in mass-market bullion
• 2007: Minted the “Big Maple Leaf”—a 100 kg coin of .99999 gold, then the largest and purest gold coin in history

Today, Royal Canadian Mint operates two facilities—in Ottawa and Winnipeg—and is one of the few mints globally to refine gold and silver in-house.
