Description
Elegance, history, rarity and intrinsic value combine perfectly to make this 2023 $300 fine platinum coin one of the Royal Canadian Mint’s most sought after collectibles. While this collector coin features a proof finish with selective gold elements and an extremely low mintage of just 375 pieces, it also marks the 35th anniversary of the more plentiful bullion platinum maple leaf coin. HST/GST exempt.
The Design:
The design features an elegant bouquet composed of sugar maple 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.
