The '''Canadian Platinum Maple Leaf''' is the official [[bullion]] [[platinum coin]] of [[Canada]]. First issued by the [[Royal Canadian Mint]] in 1988, it was available until 2002infive different denominations, all of which are marked as containing .9995 pure [[platinum]]. The [[bullion coin]] was partly reintroducedin2009 in the form of the1[[troy ounce]] denomination, featuring a new portraitof[[Elizabeth II|Queen Elizabeth II]] on the [[Obverse and reverse|obverse]]. The coins have [[legal tender]] status in Canada, but as is often the case with bullion coins, the [[face value]]s of these coins are purely symbolic and do not reflect their true value.
