2023 1 oz Klondike Gold Rush .99999 Gold Coin
Most mints worldwide produce gold coins in extremely pure levels. 99.99% pure gold pieces are becoming a standard in coin collections.
The Royal Canadian Mint decided to manufacture an unprecedented gold coin to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the Klondike Gold Rush, a landmark in Canadian history: a 99.999% pure gold coin.
Undeniably, the gold rush has brought benefits and drawbacks to the nations that lived it.
The Klondike Gold Rush in Canada was no different. It affected the natural environment and the indigenous way of living. On the other hand, it brought development, especially to Yukon, in the basin of the Klondike River, and made Canada one of the world's leading producers of gold.

The Design
The obverse showcases Susan Blunt’s portrait of the former monarch Queen Elizabeth II and her reigning period of the left, “1952-2022.”
The inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “D. G. REGINA,” which means “By the grace of God, Queen” in Latin, and “200 DOLLARS,” referring to the coin’s face value, are on the outer rim.
The reverse design reproduces the locomotive used to bring passengers and supplies by the White Pass and the Yukon Route Railway.
On the left, prospectors mine and try to recover placer gold. Sluice boxes keep the gold recovered, and in the end, it pours on an encircled maple leaf, a symbol of the Canadian nation.
“CANADA” and “2023” are the engravings arching over the image.
“FINE GOLD 1 OZ OR PUR” on the bottom corresponds to the coin’s weight and metal content written in English and French, national official languages.
The coin’s purity level is next to it and reads “99999.”
The RCM Bullion DNA
It consists of exclusive anticounterfeiting measures. The radial lines in the background of the coin’s surfaces, serrated edges, and a textured maple leaf on the reverse design with the number “23” laser micro-engraved are part of this complex security system.
