A continuation of the Royal Canadian Mint’s Maple Leaf series, the 2015 1 oz Platinum Canadian Maple Leaf is now available for purchase at Provident Metals. The 2015 coin is distinctively different than previous Platinum Maples as it contains two unique security features that authenticate each coin’s identity and purity.

Manufactured at the RCM from .9995 Fine Platinum, these Canadian Maple Leafs are issued and backed by the Government of Canada. Because the RCM is certified ISO9001 (IRA certification), each maple is qualified for inclusion in a precious metals IRA.

Previous iterations of the Platinum Maple Leafs are highly valued by investors and collectors, and value and collectability are expected to increase with the introduction of newly enhanced security features. The Royal Canadian Mint has manufactured the Platinum Maples since 1988, and commonly sell every ounce they mint.

The security features include micro-engraved radial lines, which appear in the fields of the obverse and reverse, and a micro-engraved maple leaf on the reverse of the coin. The radial lines create a pattern of light defraction, which is distinctive to maple leafs. At the right of the maple leaf’s stem on the reverse of the coin is a smaller maple leaf with “15” engraved at its center. “CANADA,” “FINE PLATINUM,” “1 OZ PLATINE PUR” and “.9995” are engraved along the rim of the reverse.

The obverse of the Platinum Maple features Susanna Blunt’s portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty’s name, the year of issue, and the coin’s denomination are inscribed around her visage.

One ounce Platinum Maples measure 30 mm in diameter and weigh 31.16 g. While the coins have a legal tender value of $50 (CAN), the actual value of the platinum pieces is much, much greater. The inherent value of the RCM 2015 1 oz Platinum Maple will strengthen your precious metals portfolio.

The Canadian Platinum Maple Leaves are the most popular way to invest in Platinum Bullion. Individual coins of the brilliant uncirculated coin will arrive in plastic flips. Multiples of 10 will ship in an original mint tube for optimum protection.
