Description
Well over an ounce of ultra-pure .99999 fine gold, a high quality .24 carat Canadian Forevermark Black Label oval diamond, and a low mintage of just 350 pieces combine to make this new $200 gold coin one of the 2021 highlight collectibles from the Royal Canadian Mint.
A fashionable oval cut diamond is one of the most sparkling cuts of all and a true showstopper. With any oval cut diamond, the gem’s radiance is augmented by its elongated shape. And on this coin, the unmatched beauty of a 0.24 carat Forevermark Black Label oval diamond is further heightened by Ultra High Relief (UHR) engraving, which lifts the embedded stone and brings it closer to the light for maximum sparkle. Mintage is extremely limited to just 350 coins. HST/GST exempt.
The Design:
Marked by the promise of beauty, rarity and responsible sourcing, the diamond is cut with supreme symmetry to unleash a dazzling refraction of light. This rare precious stone is also a piece of our mining history: it is one of the last diamonds sourced from the Victor Mine in Northern Ontario before its closure.
The reverse design by Chris and Rosina Reid of Three Degrees Creative is inspired by the 0.24 carat Forevermark Black Label oval cut diamond centrepiece. The engraved arrangement is an artistic interpretation of the diamond’s light performance and features rising layers of geometric shapes engraved in ultra high relief (UHR). The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
