1 oz Platinum Maple Leaf Design

Many precious metal investors and coin collectors for decades considered the Platinum Maple Leaf coin the perfect platinum bullion coin to collect. And most of the appeal definitely comes from the beautiful reverse design. The sugar maple leaf, designed by Walter Ott in 1979, was already used on the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf and is considered a staple of first-class design. The leaf is incredibly detailed, from the stem to the grains and the lobes, making it as realistic as any sculpture can be. Above this beloved national symbol is the country’s name, Canada. On the lower side of the outer rim are the inscriptions “9995 FINE PLATINUM 1 OZ PLATINE PUR 9995”.

The obverse has portrayed different versions of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, monarch of the Commonwealth realm. The 2022 issue carries Susanna Blunt’s design, featuring the Queen as her 79-year-old self. Surprisingly, she does not wear her crown in this effigy. Only pearl earrings and a pearl necklace. The artist’s initials “SB” appear on the Queen’s right shoulder. Her name is written on top “ELIZABETH II”, and the face value and mint year below “50 DOLLARS 2022”.

Anti-Counterfeit Security Features

For many years now the Royal Canadian Mint has been on the vanguard of anti-counterfeiting measures. Radial lines are engraved on both verses of the coin. The finish creates a pattern that deflects light in a very unique manner.

On the reverse, right next to the stem of the bigger sugar maple leaf coin, the Mint engraved a smaller maple leaf, containing the number 22, as to represent the 2022 mint year. In addition, the privy mark includes the Royal Canadian Mint’s Bullion DNA technology (Digital Non-destructive Activation). It is, in essence, a code, registered by the RCM’s database, that can only be scanned by their specialized device. A final touch, that, for sure, shall put the minds of dealers and investors at ease.

Coin Mintage

The Canadian Maple Leaf Platinum coin was introduced in 1988. At first, the RCM produced fractional-ounce sizes as well. Those included ½ oz, ¼ oz, 1/10 oz and 1/20 oz. In 2003 the Mint suspended all platinum coins. They would only reinstate the program in 2009, featuring only the 1-troy-ounce version.

The coins contain .9995 fine platinum. They are 2.62 mm thick, with a diameter of 30 mm and reeded edges. It has a face value of CAD$50.
