In 1912, the same year that the famed Titanic sank roughly 900 kilometers off the coast of Newfoundland, the Dominion Government ordered 8,000 five-dollar gold coins, and 8,000 10-dollar gold coins minted. By the end of that summer, $600,000 worth of gold coins had been circulated to Assistant-Receivers General across Canada. Production of the gold coins continued until 1914. I`m unsure how this really reads
don't know if they were ordered from
The Royal Mint or not
