Canada: 2017 $300 Maple Leaf Forever Platinum Coin

Canada: 2017 $300 Maple Leaf Forever Platinum Coin

Finish: Reverse Proof with selective pink gold plating and colouring

Mintage: 250

Design: The coin showcases a wonderfully detailed design of Douglas maple leaves struck in reverse proof (brilliant details on a frosted background). A single large leaf drifts down the centre of the coin while five more float along the upper edge in a style reminiscent of the first coins that circulated in the colony. Pink gold plate adds a breathtaking highlight to the design, while vivid colour enhances the remaining elements, including the pair of winged samaras that appear to the right of the central leaf. The leaves are more serrated than those of the sugar maple that appears on Canada’s national flag, a distinctive feature that has been reproduced with uncompromising detail on this exceptional platinum coin.

Packaging: The coin is encapsulated and presented in a red wood lacquered case, it is protected by a black beauty box.
