This striking 1/10th of an ounce of pure gold coin is the third in the Royal Canadian Mint’s popular O Canada series, which pays tribute to iconic Canadian imagery. Perhaps our most familiar native creature is the beguiling Canada Goose, which is seen on this beautiful coin in a highly-detailed, three-quarter view. Canadian Geese populate most of Canada’s cities and interact with humans frequently; however, some instances of this interaction may be in the perceived defence of their goslings, prompting aggressive behaviour. Their honk is a sound that Canadians are familiar with—the noise, heard from above as they fly in a v-formation, is tell-tale of winter’s approach. This coin, featuring a charming diameter of 16mm, packs an incredible level of detail into the pure-gold surface. Struck in premium-proof finish, the superior texture and intensity in the particulars of the goose’s plumage make this a coin worth cherishing.
