NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Canadian Platinum Maple Leaf

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.
