2022 $350 PURE GOLD COIN
KLONDIKE GOLD RUSH: PROSPECTING FOR GOLD

Made from the highest standard of gold—more pure than any Klondike gold nugget—this 1 oz. 99.999% pure gold numismatic treasure from the Royal Canadian Mint shares the same design as its 1 oz. gold bullion counterpart, but in a mirror-like finish, that beautifully enhances the gleam of the world’s purest gold.

Its engraved depiction hints at the journey from raw material to refined gold, and ultimately, to the rare coin issued by Canada’s mint, whose creation was accelerated by the events that unfolded in the North. Prospecting for gold is still the popular image of the Klondike Gold Rush, though not everyone benefitted from those boom days: many failed to strike it rich, and with the sudden influx of gold rushers came a series of sweeping changes that proved devastating to Indigenous communities and the environment, leaving a complicated legacy that still reverberates today.

 “Five nines” fever. A snapshot of Canada’s past, this magnificent piece is crafted in 99.999% (“five nines”) pure gold, which makes it one of the purest gold coins in the world. It is the only 99.999% pure gold coin issued by the Royal Canadian Mint in 2022.
 A double rarity. The Royal Canadian Mint is the only mint that regularly issues 99.999% pure gold coins, and this is the Mint’s only “five nines” numismatic offering in 2022.
 A view of Canadian history. The reverse features one of the scenes that helped shaped the popular image of the Klondike as a mining frontier. Although its legacy is complicated, the Klondike Gold Rush was an important chapter in this nation’s history because it incorporated the north into the emerging Canadian nation put Canada on the map as a leading gold producer.
 A detailed design. This numismatic coin shares the same design as the 2022 $200 1 oz. 99.999% Pure Gold Coin – Klondike Gold Rush: Prospecting for Gold bullion coin, but in a gleaming proof finish that accentuates the engraved relief.
 Very low mintage. Only 400 are available worldwide.
