Comment
Derived from the same award-winning security technology applied to Canada’s $1 and $2 circulation coins, the PtML 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 centre of this mark, visible under magnification, is the numeral “23”, denoting the coin’s year of issue.Radial lines in the 2023 PtML’s 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.
The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. The obverse also bears a special marking that includes four pearls symbolizing the four effigies that have graced Canadian coins and the double date of her reign.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design that showcases a majestic moose, a symbol of Canadian wildlife, surrounded by a beautiful landscape of mountains and trees. The design is meant to reflect the country's natural beauty and rich wildlife heritage.
