2023 $200 PURE GOLD COIN
CELEBRATING CANADA'S DIVERSITY: KNOWLEDGE AND INTERCONNECTION

4th coin of the series Celebrating Canada's Diversity.

For the Haida, knowledge is power, and the most vital knowledge—the beliefs, experiences and traditions of their people—is passed down from generation to generation, as represented on the fourth coin in the Royal Canadian Mint’s Celebrating Canada’s Diversity series. The interconnectedness of all living things, or gina ‘waadluxan gud ad kwaagid (everything depends on everything else), is fundamental to the Haida worldview. That guiding principle— along with the importance of intergenerational learning—is reflected on the reverse of this 99.99% pure gold coin, where the engraved cedar rope symbolically binds the generations (the outer and inner rings) together, and the ocean-coloured abalone shell honours the traditional lifeways of Haida Gwaii.

 No two abalone are alike. Each coin is adorned with a unique, responsibly sourced abalone shell—an organic gem with iridescent colours that symbolize the Haida people’s enduring connection with the sea. And since no two shells look the same, your coin is truly a one-of-a-kind collectible.
 Coin #4 in the Royal Canadian Mint’s annual Celebrating Canada’s Diversity series.
 The engraved design features the rounded form lines, ovoid and U shapes that are characteristic of Haida art. Together, they form a powerful artistic expression of Haida culture and identity.
 Exquisitely crafted in 1 oz. of 99.99% pure gold, only 275 of these coins are available to collectors worldwide.
