Minted with extraordinary 999.5% pure platinum bullion, the coins feature King Charles III on the obverse and the iconic Canadian maple leaf artwork on the reverse. There’s a reason why the Canadian Platinum Maple has become one of the world’s most beloved platinum bullion coins – and we couldn’t be prouder of the RCM’s latest work.
The coin is only the second in the series to feature King Charles III on the obverse; his debut came in 2024 after the death of Queen Elizabeth. On the reverse, the instantly recognizable maple leaf design, penned by mint engraver Walter Ott in 1979, appears once more in stunning detail.

The Platinum Maple series began in 1988 and has since become a hallmark of coin collections all over the world. The collection celebrates and showcases the Royal Canadian Mint’s reputation as a premier producer of high quality bullion artwork. Initially, the 1979 debut of the Canadian Maple Leaf Coin saw only one metal – gold. Since then, the RCM has expanded its offerings to produce the series in gold, silver, and platinum.
After the death of Queen Elizabeth, global coinage in the royal lineage shifted to include Britain’s new monarch, King Charles III, on their sovereign coins. He made his debut on the Platinum Maple in 2024 and appears again this year. Charles wears his characteristic suit and tie and stares off toward the left side of the coin. This stylistic choice is actually a royal artwork innovation; monarchs change directionality on coinage when we transition from one leader to another.
King Charles III is depicted without a crown on this coin, signaling a shift in the portrayal of the British royal family and adding a bit of depth to the cultural significance of this new coin. His bust, created by Canadian artists, emphasizes the coin’s relevance in the contemporary numismatic landscape while adhering to a centuries-old royal tradition.
On the reverse, the coin continues to feature the iconic sugar maple leaf, a symbol of Canadian pride and heritage. The design, created by Walter Ott, emphasizes the unparalleled detail and intricacy that helped popularize this bullion coin series. The addition of a micro-laser engraving of a tiny maple leaf enhances the coin’s security, ensuring its authenticity while preserving the legacy of the Maple Leaf series.
The 2025 1 oz Canadian Platinum Maple Leaf Coin uniquely combines the debut of King Charles III’s effigy with the Maple Leaf series’ legacy of purity and craftsmanship. Its .9995 fine platinum content, iconic maple leaf design, and enhanced security features make it a standout choice for collectors and investors alike. This coin captures both historical significance and modern value, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of numismatic and royal history.
