This piece belongs to a long-running series of miniature gold issues referencing historic coinage rather than representing independent monetary policy. The specific reference here — the 1911 Canadian "Dei Gratia" dollar — points to one of the most storied Canadian rarities: a pattern coin struck in very limited numbers at the Ottawa Mint, notable because the obverse legend included the abbreviation "DEI GRA" that had been omitted from the 1910 issue, prompting public controversy. Only a handful of the 1911 Canadian silver dollars were ever struck, all as patterns, making the original one of the great Canadian numismatic prizes.
