Description
Re-live the Klondike Gold Rush with this year’s gold fractional set, which invites you to pan for gold. You’re guaranteed a gold strike thanks to the innovative one ounce coin which is topped with a genuine Canadian gold grain from the Royal Canadian Mint’s world-class refinery. With its gold pan privy mark, each coin represents an important chapter in Canadian history. And unlike the prospectors who made the arduous journey north to dig, sluice and pan for gold, this set offers you a journey that’s guaranteed to strike gold.
The set features four different sizes and denominations of matched .9999 pure silver coins with a maple leaf design. The sizes are 1 ounce, ¼ ounce, 1/10th ounce and 1/20th ounce. The coins bear a face value of $50, $10, $5, and $1 respectively. Mintage of this set is limited to 500. GST/HST exempt.
The Design:
Each coin’s reverse features two sugar maple leaves that represent Canada. Along with the double dates (“1896” “2021”) that commemorate the 125th anniversary of the Klondike Gold Rush, each coin includes a gold pan privy mark that symbolizes the 1896 gold discovery on Bonanza Creek. The gold pan on the 1 oz. coin is topped with a genuine Canadian gold grain from the Royal Canadian Mint’s refinery. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
