The Klondike Gold Rush gold coin is made of high-purity gold (999.9). The coin weighs one ounce. The coin is produced by The Royal Canadian Mint.
The theme of this gold coin is a significant event in Canadian history and one that is important to the history of gold mining and exploration. In August 1896, the first nuggets of gold were discovered in Rabbit Bay (Bonanza). The search for gold gained momentum and became even more popular. From that moment on, we can speak of a true gold rush.
Appearance of the 1-ounce Klondike Gold Rush gold coin
The reverse side of the gold coin depicts hands holding a tray used for panning gold. The designer has beautifully and subtly depicted the gold processing, showing how small particles are ultimately transformed into a coin featuring a maple leaf. The coin also bears information such as the weight and fineness of the metal, the issuing country, and the year of issue.
The obverse of the gold coin features a bust of Queen Elizabeth II. The edge bears the inscription "Elizabeth II D.G. REGINA" and indicates the coin's face value.
The reverse side varies depending on the year of minting. Coins are assigned randomly.
