Coin Features

The Royal Anniversary Platinum 4-Coin Set commemorating the 70th wedding anniversary of the royal couple is made up of four coins: 300 dollars, 150 dollars, 75 dollars and 30 dollars. Each obverse side features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II designed by Susanna Blunt. Each reverse side contains the Canadian maple leaf, as designed by Marie-Elaine Cusson. In addition to the maple leaf, the 300 dollar coin contains the number 70 in celebration of their marriage, as well as the distinctive royal monograms of both the Queen and Prince Philip.

The platinum coins are all also double dated to highlight the 70-year anniversary, displaying both 1947 and 2017. They are 99.95% pure platinum. Each coin set is encapsulated in a beautiful wooden case, branded with the Royal Canadian Mint logo.

Why Platinum Is a Quality Addition

When adding to your coin collection, you might automatically turn to gold or silver, but the Royal Anniversary platinum coins hold their own high value. Why add platinum coins to your collection?

The Rarity – Platinum is a very rare metal when you compare it with other precious metals. It is difficult to extract from the earth, expensive to refine, yet resistant to corrosion. What makes this set more rare is there are only 600 minted sets in existence throughout the world.
The Demand – Platinum is a popular metal with high demand. Having the coin set is going to give you an advantage in the world of coin collecting.
The Investment – If you use coin collecting as an investment strategy, a platinum set is a great investment. Platinum makes great profits, and paired with the design of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the value will only go up with time.
