| Reverse description | A single stylised Canadian maple leaf rendered in high relief occupies the central field, its delicate veining finely detailed against a mirrored background. The country name 'CANADA' arcs along the upper rim, flanking the maple leaf on either side with the platinum fineness designation '.9995'. The bilingual inscription 'FINE PLATINUM 1/2 OZ PLATINE PUR' is distributed in the lower field, confirming the coin's precious metal content in both English and French, in keeping with Canada's official bilingual coinage tradition. |
