| Beschrijving keerzijde | A highly detailed, naturalistic Canadian sugar maple leaf (Acer saccharum) occupies the central field in high relief, with finely engraved veining throughout the leaf. The legend CANADA arcs across the upper periphery. The purity designation 9995 appears twice in the mid-field flanking the leaf stem, and the bilingual inscription FINE PLATINUM 1/4 OZ PLATINE PUR curves along the lower periphery, attesting to the coin's platinum content and fineness. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Canada's platinum bullion program launched in 1988 as a direct response to South Africa's Krugerrand embargo and the subsequent gap in the global precious metals investment market. The Royal Canadian Mint had already established credibility with the Maple Leaf gold series; extending into platinum was a calculated move to capture institutional and retail investors who wanted an alternative to the Rand Refinery's product. At introduction, Canada held a meaningful share of global platinum mining output, lending the series commercial logic beyond simple opportunism.
The two-year production window for this denomination reflects early uncertainty about market appetite. Mintages were modest and closely tracked actual demand.
