The RCM's high-relief platinum bullion program has long occupied an awkward commercial space — priced for collectors but marketed with the language of investment. This piece, part of the Grandeur series, uses selective rose gold plating applied after striking, a technique the RCM refined through its bimetallic and selectively gilded issues of the 2010s. The 62.2g specification places it at a full troy ounce of .9995 platinum, a purity threshold the RCM adopted to match competing refiners and distinguish its collector platinum from the .9990 floor common in earlier issues.
