Royal Canadian Mint Strikes World's First 10-Kilo 99.999% Pure Gold Coin

The Royal Canadian Mint (www.mint.ca) is proud to announce it has crafted the world's first 10-kilo 99.999% pure gold coin and that this exquisite numismatic creation has been dedicated to Bill Reid's The Spirit of Haida Gwaii; one of the most celebrated masterpieces of Canadian art. The Spirit of Haida Gwaii pure gold coin is the world's first 10-kilo gold coin of 99.999% purity. Its $100,000 face value makes it the world's highest denomination 10-kilo gold coin and highest denomination non-circulation numismatic coin. The coin's massive size (180 mm diameter) is fittingly complemented by the image of Bill Reid's monumental sculpture featured on its reverse. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, by Susanna Blunt. Read the rest of Royal Canadian Mint Strikes World's First 10-Kilo 99.999% Pure Gold Coin
