Canadian Mint launches Klondike-themed pure gold coin
This bullion coin, made of the world’s purest gold, was launched at the PDAC 2022 convention in Toronto, Ontario, the world’s premier mineral exploration and mining conference hosted by the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada. It is on display at the Royal Canadian Mint booth, and will soon be available through the Mint’s network of official bullion distributors.
The reverse of the 2022 $200 1 oz. 99.999% Pure Gold Coin Klondike Gold Rush: Prospecting For Gold is designed by Canadian artist Steve Hepburn, who has illustrated a wooden sluice box in action, filled with “paydirt” from which precious gold flakes and nuggets are being carefully separated.
The background of the reverse and obverse features a precisely engraved array of radial lines that have become a defining characteristic of Mint bullion coins. The coin’s security is also enhanced by the Mint’s distinct micro-engraved maple leaf mintmark, showing the number 22 to correspond to its year of issue.
The Mint’s latest 5-9s pure gold bullion coin is presented in richly designed credit card-style packaging that includes a certificate of purity signed by the Mint’s Chief Assayer.
