Description
The Royal Canadian Mint is known for making beautiful, advanced bullion products, and the 1 oz Canadian Platinum Maple Leaf (Random Year) is no exception. This coin is part of a long-standing platinum series that first made its debut in 1988 and has since become one of the most popular platinum coin series worldwide.
The Canadian Platinum Maple Leaf series was created to showcase Canada’s natural beauty and wealth. The coin’s reverse features the iconic maple leaf, which symbolizes the country’s identity and pride. The obverse features an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, which may change based on the year of issue. The design is a testament to Canada’s rich heritage and its position as a global leader in the precious metals industry.
The Platinum Maple Leaf was initially available in various weights, ranging from 1/20 oz to 1 oz. However, the series stopped production in 2002 due to low consumer demand, and it wasn’t until 2009 that the Royal Canadian Mint resumed production, this time offering only the 1 oz variety. This makes the 1 oz Canadian Platinum Maple Leaf a rare and highly coveted coin.
The Royal Canadian Mint has a rich history that dates back over a century. Founded in 1908, the mint has played a crucial role in the development of Canada’s economy and its position in the global precious metals market. In addition to the Platinum Maple Leaf series, the mint is also known for its popular Gold Maple Leaf and Silver Maple Leaf series.
Each coin arrives in uncirculated condition, with the exact year of issue being randomly selected. Each 1 oz coin has a purity of .9995 pure platinum and a face value of $50 (CAD). Order yours today from GoldClub Direct!
