The Maple Leaf is one of the most famous bullion coins in the world. So it is no wonder that, with the increasing popularity of platinum, the Royal Canadian Mint decided to produce this coin regularly from this metal again in 2009. Previously, the coin was also produced regularly from 1988 to 1999. The appearance of the platinum Maple Leaf is based on that of the classic coins. The newer issues also have the same security features, such as bullion DNA technology and radial patterns, making them even more forgery-proof.
