1997 Canada 1 oz Platinum Maple Leaf BU
In 1997, Canada issued a remarkable legal tender coin struck in one troy ounce of highly pure 0.9995 platinum. This piece is part of the celebrated Platinum Maple Leaf series, backed fully by the Canadian government with a face value of 50 Dollars. Struck in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, it represents a year when only 25,480 of these specific coins were minted. The obverse displays the right-facing profile of Queen Elizabeth II, a classic portrait created by Ian Rank-Broadley. Surrounding the royal likeness are inscriptions indicating the year 1997 and the 50 Dollar denomination. On the reverse, the coin features the iconic, single maple leaf, a national symbol rendered in intricate detail. The reverse inscriptions highlight the purity and weight of the precious metal, marking it as one ounce of pure platinum, written in both English and French as '1 OZ PLATINE PUR' alongside the '9995' purity standard.
