History

The Canada Maple Leaf continues to be one of the most highly sought-after bullion investment coins in the world. The standard annual releases are struck in .9999 fine silver or gold, while the platinum is at .9995, all at 1 troy ounce. All one-ounce 99.95% pure Platinum Maple Leaf bullion coins dated 2023 will have two unique features for enhanced security—radial lines and a micro-engraved maple leaf.

The Canada Maple Leaf is not only held for its investment value. This beautiful bullion coin is also followed by collectors of fine bullion coins. With each annual release, collectors quickly add to their holdings. The coin's simple elegance proudly presents Canada's stunning and iconic emblem, the maple leaf.

Unique Security Features

Derived from the same award-winning security technology applied to Canada’s $1 and $2 circulation coins, the Platinum Maple Leaf security feature consists of a textured maple leaf, micro engraved with laser technology on a small area of the reverse side of the coin. In the center of this mark, visible under magnification, is the numeral “23”, denoting the coin’s year of issue.

Radial lines in the 2023 Platinum Maple Leaf's background field have been precisely machined to within microns on the master tooling to ensure reproducibility from die to die and coin to coin. The uniqueness of the line width and pitch gives this coin a characteristic look, and creates a light-diffracting pattern that is specific to this coin.
