Klondike gold rush engraved on a gold coin

Gold mining in the Klondike had a significant impact on the development of Canada. The scene captured on the obverse of the coin relates to this activity. The engraving includes a variety of elements that carefully reflect one of the stages of mining the precious ore in the ancient Klondike River region. The prospector pictured on the right uses a so-called rocker box to find the gold nuggets. Another coin with a canada leaf on the front floats out of the water pouring from the device.

The depicted scene gets an extra flavor with an elegant mirror finish. Steve Hepburn, responsible for the design of the obverse, made every effort to show the hardship of gold prospectors in a small space. The only markings on the front of the coin are the initials of the designer. The reverse features an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, along with a designation of the gold sample and face value. This show collector coin is the only one in the world in NGC PF70!
