About
One of the world’s most coveted platinum offerings, Canada’s Platinum Maple Leaf (PtML) bullion coin turns 35 this year (2023) and this exquisite maple bouquet is our way of marking the happy occasion. On your coin’s reverse, four sugar maple leaves—the same maple species so elegantly featured on every Platinum Maple Leaf issued since 1988—form an eye-pleasing, symmetrical arrangement that is further enhanced with touches of yellow gold. The double dates “1988-2023” commemorate the anniversary of the coin’s big debut, as does Arnold Machin’s historic effigy, which looks resplendent in 99.95% platinum.

Since its first release in 1988, the Platinum Maple Leaf bullion coin has been minted at a purity of .9995 platinum—a higher purity than .999 platinum bullion.

Design
The reverse design by artist Luc Normandin features an elegant bouquet composed of sugar maple (Acer saccharum) leaves. Yellow gold plating on the rim and on two of the four leaves creates a striking colour contrast, while the dates “1988-2023” commemorate the 35ᵗʰ anniversary of the first Platinum Maple Leaf bullion coin. The rim is also gold-plated on the obverse, which, like the first coin issued in 1988, features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Arnold Machin.

Packaging
The coin is encapsulated and presented in a Red lacquered wood case with black beauty box.
