Pure Platinum Coin.\n\nIt's part of the Maple Leaf Forever series that the Mint adds to each year.\n\nThis new coin is crafted in 99.95% pure platinum, which makes it exclusive because platinum is thirty times rarer than gold.\n\nThe reverse side of the coin was designed by Canadian artist Lisa Thompson Khan.\n\nIt features a single red maple leaf in a reimagining of Canada's iconic emblem to elevate the familiar image to a modern work of art.\n\nThis maple leaf shines and appears to pulsate when it catches the light because of pulsating technology. There are hundreds of submillimetre-scale mirrors within the maple leaf to reflect light in a way that creates the illusion of movement.\n\nIt resembles the Canadian penny because that coin also features maple leaves in motion.\n\nWhile this new coin has similar design features to the penny, it's worth way more than that. It has a face value of $300!\n\nReverse of Maple Leaf Forever 1 oz. Pure Platinum Coin.Royal Canadian Mint\n\nThe obverse of the coin features an effigy of King Charles III that was designed by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.\n\nIt also has engravings of \"CHARLES III,\" \"D. G. REX,\" and \"300 DOLLARS\" around the edges.\n\nObverse of Maple Leaf Forever 1 oz. Pure Platinum Coin.Royal Canadian Mint\n\nThere is an extremely limited mintage of 425 coins.\n\nYou won't be able to find this coin in your change, and it'll cost you a lot of money to get.\n\nThe Maple Leaf Forever — 1 oz. Pure Platinum Coin has a massive $6,999.95 price tag!\n\n_This article's cover image was used for illustrative purposes only._",
