Royal Canadian Mint Issues Special Centennial Commemorative Coins
Celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Mint with special commemorative coins! It has been 100 years since Governor General Earl Grey activated the press to strike a fifty-cent piece, Canada's first domestically produced coin. What would become known as the Royal Canadian Mint was officially open for business.


Quote:
"Every commemorative coin produced by the Mint expresses a theme or ideal that reflects Canada's heritage and values," stated Mr. Ian E. Bennett, President and CEO of the Royal Canadian Mint. "These magnificent new coins capture the essence of Canada's world-renowned mint during our centennial year and we are pleased to offer them as part of the celebrations."


With a proud tradition in both silver and gold coin production, the Mint is issuing four commemorative numismatic coins to celebrate its monumental anniversary, all of which are now available.

5-ounce gold and 5-ounce silver coins

The exquisite craftsmanship and finish of the 5-ounce gold and 5-ounce silver coins enhance its design, the majestic architecture of the Ottawa Mint's historic building on Sussex Drive. Bearing a face value of $500 and available for $8,159.95, the 5-ounce gold coin has been limited to a mintage of only 250. Its silver counterpart has a $50 face value and also captures the essence of Canada's world-renowned Mint. Four thousand of these coins have been produced and are available for $369.95 CDN.
