| Aanvullende informatie |
This coin commemorates the 1921 discovery of insulin by Frederick Banting and Charles Best at the University of Toronto — one of the most consequential medical breakthroughs of the twentieth century. Banting and Best sold the patent to the University of Toronto for one dollar each, deliberately refusing to profit from a discovery they believed should remain accessible to all patients.
The .583 fineness is notably lower than the Royal Canadian Mint's standard bullion gold issues, placing this squarely as a numismatic collector piece rather than a bullion vehicle.
