Platinum Canadian Maple Leaf 1 oz
The Royal Canadian Mint (RCM) resumed production of this popular platinum coin in early 2012 after a four year hiatus. The platinum Maple Leaf was first minted in 1988 and is guaranteed for weight and purity by the Canadian government. Up until 2002 the RCM produced the platinum coins in fractional sizes, but only mints the 1-oz version today.

Design
The design of the Canadian Royal Mint’s Maple Leaf coins has remained virtually unchanged since its introduction in the late ’80s. Like the other Maple Leaf coins (silver, gold and palladium), the bust of Queen Elizabeth II appears on the obverse side of the coin. She has gracefully aged over the years, which is reflected in the design.
The reverse depicts a single Canadian Maple Leaf, the national symbol of Canada.
Minting
The Platinum Maple Leaf is minted by the Royal Canadian Mint.
Quality Guarantee
Guaranteed by the Canadian Government, the Maple Leafs are globally respected for their quality and purity.
