Overview
For investors seeking both platinum exposure and the credibility of a sovereign mint, the Canadian Platinum Maple Leaf stands in a class of its own. First introduced in 1988 by the world-renowned Royal Canadian Mint (RCM), this coin offers exceptional purity, secure minting, and global recognition. As one of the most trusted platinum bullion coins on the market, it allows individuals to diversify with a rare and strategic asset that’s harder to mine and more industrially used than gold.

The reverse of the coin showcases Canada’s national emblem—the maple leaf—in a brilliant design by Walter Ott, brought to life with fine detail and expert texturing. The inscriptions highlight the coin’s weight, purity (.9995), and bilingual labeling in English and French, alongside the sophisticated micro-laser engraved maple leaf security feature added in 2014.

On the obverse, portraits of Queen Elizabeth II vary depending on the mintage year:

1988–1989: Arnold Machin’s engraving (Queen at age 39)
1990–2002: Dora de Pédery-Hunt’s version (Queen at 64)
2009–2023: Susannah Blunt’s profile (Queen at 79)
2024 onward: Steven Rosati’s new portrait of King Charles III

This series took a brief pause from 2003 to 2008 but returned with enhanced security features and a refined design, reflecting RCM’s commitment to innovation and excellence.

Each coin is legal tender in Canada, and its precious metal content is guaranteed by the Government of Canada. Thanks to Canada’s status as one of the world’s top platinum producers, these coins also enjoy consistent production and availability.

For those looking to hold physical platinum in an IRA—or to expand beyond gold and silver—the 1 oz Canadian Platinum Maple Leaf offers a compelling mix of quality, liquidity, and confidence.
