2024 $200 PURE GOLD COIN
CELEBRATING CANADA'S DIVERSITY: TRANSCENDENCE AND TRANQUILITY

5th coin of the series Celebrating Canada's Diversity.

Canadians of Iranian heritage can proudly lay claim to a rich tapestry of history, culture, literature and artistic traditions that encompass a wide range of disciplines – from architecture to weaving and metalwork, and so much more. Ornamented with a genuine turquoise gemstone, this 99.99% pure gold coin – the fifth in the Royal Canadian Mint’s Celebrating Canada’s Diversity series – is a gleaming homage to Iranian cultural traditions from today to those of ancient Persia and beyond, represented by Eslimi patterns and Shah Abbasi flower motifs from traditional carpet designs, lotus flowers inspired by the reliefs of Persepolis, stylized maple leaves symbolizing Canadian identity, and a paisley motif in the center. These elements come together on the coin’s reverse, where the balanced symmetry and circular symbolism is meant to inspire, to urge us to transcend our perceived limits, and to find inner peace and tranquility.

 Features a genuine turquoise centrepiece. Each turquoise features distinctive patterning and hue variations that make it unique, meaning no two coins look the same – your coin is truly a one-of-a-kind collectible.
 Coin #5 in the Royal Canadian Mint’s annual Celebrating Canada’s Diversity series.
 Turquoise figures prominently in Iranian art and architecture, and continues to be highly prized for its deep blue-green hue.
 The engraved design features a mix of cultural symbols that represent Iranian Canadians, including a motif associated with traditional carpets.
 Exquisitely crafted in 1 oz. of 99.99% pure gold, only 275 of these coins are available to collectors worldwide.
