Description

The Mint’s spirit of innovation shines bright with 2010 25 cent pure gold coin. Pushing the envelope further with minute engraved details, this smaller than-ever pure gold coin measures only 11 mm across. Struck in 99.99% pure gold, this coin is a proud and very collectible keepsake of Canada. Mintage is 15,000 coins. HST/GST exempt.

 

The Design:

This coin's design features the caribou from the 25-cent coin that entered circulation in 1937 as part of a new, modern coin series introduced to better reflect Canada’s national identity. The Arctic, as essential a theme now as then, was the inspiration for Canadian sculptor Emanuel Hahn (1881-1957) who created this enduring image of a caribou; a design that has not changed in 73 years. During his career, Emanuel Hahn created a number of Canadian coin designs, including the original Voyageur silver dollar.
