| Obverse description | The obverse bears the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by sculptor Susan Taylor, depicting the monarch in right-facing profile at approximately 77 years of age. The bust is uncrowned and undraped, with the Queen wearing a necklace and drop earrings. The surrounding legend reads ELIZABETH II D•G•REGINA, with the denomination 300 DOLLARS also inscribed in the field. The portrait reflects the mature, refined style characteristic of Taylor's coinage series issued from 2003 onward. |

| Additional information |
The Maple Leaf Forever series draws on a long-standing Royal Canadian Mint tradition of issuing platinum bullion and collector strikes that track closely with industrial platinum demand — a metal Canada has never mined in significant quantities, relying instead on refinery relationships with South African and Russian producers. By 2019, platinum was trading well below gold for the first time in decades, a sustained inversion that made high-denomination platinum collector issues an increasingly awkward proposition for any mint.
