Historical Context: Issued by Canada in 2014, this 100 Dollars gold coin commemorates the 150th anniversary of the Charlottetown and Québec Conferences of 1864. Held during Queen Elizabeth II's reign, these pivotal meetings were instrumental in shaping Canada's future, laying the foundational framework for the British North America Act and eventual Confederation. The coin serves as a tangible historical marker, celebrating a crucial step in the nation's political evolution.

Artistry: The obverse features Susanna Blunt's regal effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, a widely recognized portrait on Canadian coinage since 2003, exemplifying a modern, dignified portrayal. The reverse, crafted by artist Laurie McGaw, skillfully depicts a composite scene from the Charlottetown and Québec Conferences, capturing the gravitas of delegates. The design adheres to a realist, commemorative stylistic school, emphasizing historical accuracy and detailed rendering typical of Royal Canadian Mint issues.

Technical/Grading: This gold coin, RCM/MRC#129282 and KM#1582, features a distinctive .5833 gold composition (58.33% gold, 41.67% silver), weighing 12 grams with a 27 mm diameter. Key high-points for grading include the intricate details of Queen Elizabeth II's hair and crown on the obverse. On the reverse, critical areas are the individual faces of the delegates, architectural background elements, and fine lettering. A full, sharp strike, characteristic of RCM's proof quality, is essential for optimal eye appeal.
