| Additional information |
This issue belongs to the Royal Canadian Mint's "Empress of India" series commemorating the centennial of Canada's transcontinental railway completion — though the title itself references Victoria's 1876 proclamation as Empress, a designation that carried particular resonance in the Canadian colonial imagination of the 1980s and 90s. The .583 fineness is notably low for a modern Canadian gold issue, a deliberate choice that kept production costs accessible while maintaining nominal gold content.
