Product Overview
These legendary gold coins were struck over 100 years ago. From 1912 to 1914, the government of Canada produced $5 and $10 gold coins for circulation in Canada and for trade with the United States. The coins used gold from the Canadian Klondike, and were designed to be equal in size and weight with the popular American coins of the same denominations to allow for easy use in international trade.
At this time, the face value of coins was still very closely tied to the intrinsic value of the metal they contained, and paper money was still redeemable for silver and gold. All of these coins were struck in 22-karat gold. The $10 gold coin contains just under a half an ounce of pure gold, while the $5 gold coin contains close to a quarter ounce of pure gold. This six-piece gold coin set comes displayed in a custom presentation case.
$5 and $10 Gold Coins - Dominion of Canada Coat-of-Arms/King George V
The $5 and $10 gold series saw limited circulation, and with the start of the First World War in 1914, the coin program was cancelled. For close to 100 years, some of these early Canadian gold coins sat in their original canvas bags, forming a part of Canada's national gold reserves. However, a portion of these coins were recently transferred to the Royal Canadian Mint and made available to collectors, while the balance of the coins were melted into new bars.
