Canadian Maple Leaf 1/4 oz Platinum 1988
"Maple is a common tree in eastern Canada. There is also a red variety of it whose leaves, when mature, take on a deep burgundy-red colour. The maple tree was of great economic importance to the Indians. They discovered that the cut trunk of the maple tree gave off a sap - an opaque liquid with a slightly yellowish hue and a faintly sweet taste.This sap, when suitably concentrated, became maple syrup. For Indians and colonists, maple syrup was the only source of carbohydrates during the long and harsh Canadian winters. Thus, the maple became a symbol of survival. The maple leaf was first used as a symbol as early as 1834 ."
The official colours of Canada are white and red.
The Canadian Maple Leaf,is one of the most recognisable bullion coins in the world. It was first minted in 1988 at the Royal Canadian Mint, a renowned Canadian mint that offers investment in precious metals through a product that is easy to resell later at a profit. The currency is distinguished by its high liquidity in the event of a willingness to buy/sell and a particularly admired image on the reverse.
The Royal Canadian Mint was officially opened in 1908 by Governor General Earl Grey , minting the first fifty-cent coin produced on Canadian soil. After the coin began to be issued, the only competitor to the coin was the Krugerrand from South Africa, but due to the apartheid boycott, it was not widely available. This made gold coins with a maple leaf very popular.
The coin is an ideal alternative to traditional gold and silver due to the fact that the annual mining of this raw material is only 160 tonnes , meaning that at this point in time, demand is far ahead of supply. In addition, platinum is a much more durable raw material than gold or silver, which means that coins held for investment purposes will remain completely intact for longer. It is interesting to note that the largest producer of platinum in the world is South Africa, where 140 000 kg of this raw material was mined in 2009. The second largest producer in the world in terms of mining production is Russia, with 20 000 kg in 2009."
