CoinGold Ounce 2021 Klondike Gold Rush

Like many other mints, the Royal Canadian Mint issues coins in precious metals having much higher intrinsic value than their face value; it is one of the major bullion coin producers in the world. Many of these bullion coins are in the internationally popular one ounce (1 oz) of gold format.

This gold bullion coin denominated as $200 is the first release in the Klondike Gold Rush series, which is dedicated to the 125th anniversary of the world-famous Klondike Gold Rush (1896 - 1899) in Canada.

The series follows the path of gold from discovery to minting into coins. This release is titled "Panning for Gold".

The Mint says about it:
"Gold!" Imagine yourself standing in a stream, panning for gold and striking it rich - this was the golden promise that briefly lured more than 30,000 fortune seekers to Canada’s North, and it forever changed the land, its people and their traditional ways of living in a manner that continues to be felt.

The world-famous Klondike Gold Rush is an important chapter in Canada’s history, and this year (2021) marks the 125th anniversary of the discovery that started it all. In August 1896, Keish (Skookum Jim Mason) and his nephew Kàa Goox (Dawson Charlie) sought out and found Shaaw Tlàa (Kate Carmack), and her husband, George Carmack, before the group made the famous find that captured the world’s attention.
