Canadian Maple Leaf Platinum Coins were introduced by the Royal Canadian Mint in 1988 at the same time the Canadian Maple Leaf Silver Coin was first struck. The silver version was the first of its kind with .9999 pure silver content. The platinum version is widely viewed as just the second platinum coin available from a major industrialized nation. Only Australia has an older platinum coin having issued its first platinum bullion coin in 1987.

Obverse

For the obverse side of 2020 Canadian Maple Leaf 1 oz Platinum Coins, the Royal Canadian Mint features the fourth-generation effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty has been Queen of England since 1952 and is now the longest-reigning monarch in British history. This is the first portrait on a Canadian coin during her reign not to have a crown on her head.

Reverse

The reverse face of the 2020 Canadian Maple Leaf Platinum Coins comes with a sugar maple leaf design. The sugar maple is one of the more ubiquitous maple species in North America and is the official emblem of the nation of Canada. In addition to appearing on the Canadian Maple Leaf coins, it also features on the Canadian national flag. The design included here comes from Walter Ott and was designed in 1979.

History

The Canadian Maple Leaf Platinum Coin is regarded as the second coin of its kind introduced by behind an Australian platinum series.

In 2013, the Canadian Maple Leaf Platinum Coin ranked as the single best-selling platinum coin in the world.
