The Royal Canadian Mint at Ottawa was opened in 1908 and has since then struck the grater part of the country’s coins. Canadian gold coins since 1976 are notable for being struck (when .916 fine) in an alloy entirely of silver, with no addition of copper; thus they are paler than other gold colds, e.g. the sovereign. The most recent Canadian gold coin, known its reverse design as the “maple leaf” is a bullion piece struck to the standard of .999 fine, and thus the purest gold since medieval times. |
