Selective platinum plating also highlights both the coin’s edge and rim, and the effigy on the obverse. #### ** NEW "MAPLE BURST" PATTERN** NEW for 2024: a custom field pattern that incorporates and repeats our nation’s maple leaf, reverberating from the centre of the iconic bullion design that is celebrating its 45th anniversary in 2024—as indicated by the micro-engraved “45” on the centre leaves. #### **REVERSE PROOF FINISH** This coin is a study in contrasts, especially with its lightly frosted field and brilliant relief. The reverse proof finish pairs beautifully with the platinum-plated highlights to create a classic yet contemporary look. #### **DID YOU KNOW?** Former Chief Engraver Walter Ott (1920-2020) created the design for the first GML bullion coin issued in 1979, and it has since become the signature design for all our Maple Leaf bullion coins and special issues—including the 2024 Super Incuse Silver Maple Leaf (SML) coin that complements this piece. Your coin’s reverse features Walter Ott’s Gold Maple Leaf (GML) bullion design. Struck incuse, the iconic sugar maple leaf is plated with platinum and reaches a depth of 1.5 millimetres. Behind it, the “maple burst” field pattern includes a subtle nod to the GML’s 45th anniversary (1979-2024), in the form of a “45” micro-engraved on the leaves forming the centre ring. The field pattern repeats on the obverse, which features the platinum‑plated effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. #### **ABOUT THE ROYAL CANADIAN MINT** The Royal Canadian Mint is known as one of the most reputable mints in the world. The Ottawa Branch of the Royal Mint opened in 1908 and was renamed The Royal Canadian Mint in 1931 when control was transferred to the Canadian government. The Royal Canadian Mint is renowned for producing some of the highest quality and purity of gold and silver bullion coins and bars in the world. Their high standards for excellence and quality allowed them to be the first refinery to manufacture 9999 fine gold bullion coins in 1982, as well as the first to reach 99999 fine gold purity in 1998.
