| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts a dynamic scene commemorating the Cariboo Gold Rush, showing a bearded prospector in wide-brimmed hat crouched at a riverbank, panning for gold with water cascading from his pan in the foreground. Behind him, a second miner operates a rocker sluice box while a mounted figure on horseback is visible in the middle ground amid a forested landscape. The engraver's initials TB (Tony Bianco) appear at lower left, with the denomination 100 DOLLARS arcing along the upper periphery and CANADA along the lower border. The date 2012 is inscribed at the left field, and the entire scene is executed in finely detailed relief with a frosted matte finish against a mirrored proof field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Cariboo Gold Rush of 1858–1863 drew tens of thousands of prospectors into the British Columbia interior, triggering the colonial infrastructure — roads, governance, permanent settlement — that shaped the province's formation. The rush centered on the Fraser River and Barkerville, which briefly ranked among the largest cities north of San Francisco.
This is part of the RCM's ongoing commemorative gold series pairing 14-karat composition with Canadian historical subjects — a deliberate cost-access calculation that keeps the pieces within reach of collectors who cannot absorb bullion-grade premiums.
