100 Dollars - Charles III The Cycle of Life

The "Cycle of Life" is an ongoing RCM thematic series exploring ecological and biological relationships native to Canadian wilderness. This 2024 entry continues a format the Mint has refined over several years, using selective gold plating on fine silver to distinguish foreground elements without additional minting processes beyond standard electroplating.

At 311.54 g of .9999 silver, these issues are struck to 10-troy-ounce specifications — a weight class the RCM has increasingly favored for high-relief collector pieces since the mid-2010s, where the mass itself becomes part of the value proposition to the collector market.
