Enhanced Security

Derived from the same award-winning security technology applied to Canada’s $1 and $2 circulation coins, the PtML security feature consists of a textured maple leaf, micro engraved with laser technology on a small area of the reverse side of the coin. In the centre of this mark, visible under magnification, is the numeral “22”, denoting the coin’s year of issue.

Radial lines in the 2022 PtML’s field have been precisely machined to within microns on the master tooling to ensure reproducibility from die to die and coin to coin. The uniqueness of the line width and pitch gives this coin a characteristic look, and creates a light-diffracting pattern that is specific to this coin.
