From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Platinum Maple Leaf is a platinum coin issued by the Royal Canadian Mint between 1988 and 2002. The coin was offered in 1/20 oz, 1/15 oz (in 1994 only), 1/10 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/2 oz, and 1 oz denominations, all of which are marked as containing .9995 pure platinum. The coins have legal tender status in Canada, but as is often the case with bullion coins, the face values of these coins (C$1, C$2, C$5, C$10, C$20 and C$50) are purely symbolic and do not reflect their true value.
