Pièce 1 once de platine La richesse d'un symbole 2024 | Monnaie royale canadienne

Your 2024 platinum maple leaf coin celebrates nature’s multifaceted beauty.

Year after year, the Royal Canadian Mint's annual Maple Leaf Forever platinum coin is the essence of elegance, its reverse design artfully combining a classic Canadian emblem with modern minting techniques and/or precious metal pairings. For 2024, the proud maple leaf shines once more in 99.95% pure platinum – a precious metal 30 times rarer than gold. However, all eyes will be on the rose-gold plated leaf brought to life by multifaceted engraving, its angled facets providing maximum reflectivity while resembling the network of veins that provide structure and support throughout the leaf’s life cycle.

Add a rose-gold, multifaceted maple leaf to your platinum collection.

PACKAGING

Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded, red lacquered wooden case with a black beauty box.

MULTIFACETED MAPLE LEAF

An innovative approach to minting dimensional art, multifaceted engraving utilizes highly reflective, geometric-shaped facets to give shape to a key design element – in this case, the maple leaf in the foreground.

ROSE GOLD

This is RCM's first platinum coin featuring multifaceted engraving and their first (selectively) plated multifaceted design, crafted in a proof finish in order to reflect light from every angle.

PURE PLATINUM

Crafted in 99.95% pure platinum – a precious metal 30 times rarer than gold – the annual platinum maple celebration highlights the natural beauty of Canada’s most famous emblem, the beloved maple leaf.

DID YOU KNOW?

Why is platinum so rare? An average of 130 metric tons of platinum are mined each year, compared to 1,800 tons of gold. Refining the ore is a complex process, too: it takes up to 10 tonnes of ore and five months to produce a single troy ounce of platinum bullion!

Set against a matte field, the reverse design features two sugar maple (Acer saccharum) leaves: a classically rendered leaf in the background, and a multifaceted one in the foreground. Rose gold plating on the rim frames the engraving and highlights the foremost leaf, creating a striking colour contrast. The rim is also plated with rose gold on the obverse, which 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.
