2017 1 oz Gold RCM 150 Special Edition Voyageur Coin

2017 1 oz Gold RCM 150 Special Edition Voyageur Coin

A nation’s character is often reflected in the designs of its circulation coins—and for Canada, no coin captures that spirit more profoundly than the voyageur silver dollar. First introduced in 1935, this iconic design now appears on a limited edition gold coin released for Canada’s 150th anniversary.

Only 15,000 of these special edition 1 oz .9999 fine gold coins were minted, featuring a unique $150 face value—the first of its kind for a gold bullion coin of this weight. This exceptional mintage is presented in a credit card-style package, with an assay certificate on the back confirming purity and minimum weight.
