An impressive coin is one that arouses your admiration for its history, for its dazzling design, or because it commemorates something special.

The Big Maple Leaf (BML) is a $ 1 million (CAD) gold coin that weighs 100 kilograms (220 lb) (3,215 troy ounces). The Royal Canadian Mint produced a set of six coins in 2007, at its Ottawa facility, where the first produced BML remains in storage.

As of March 2017, the market value of a single large maple leaf had reached approximately $ 4 million (USD).

Four men between the ages of 20 and 23 are suspected of having entered the Bode Museum on the night of March 27, 2017 and stolen the "Big Maple Leaf" coin, minted by the Royal Canadian Mint in 2007.
