| Reverse description | The reverse presents an elaborate, deeply struck representation of the Haida Dance Screen known as 'The Scream Too,' designed by Chief James Hart (Guud San Glans) of the Haida Nation. The central motif depicts a monumental frontally-facing supernatural figure rendered in traditional Haida formline design, with bold ovoids, U-forms, and split U-forms articulating the face, wings, and body. Flanking the central figure are symmetrical arrangements of subsidiary animal and human figures, fish, and crest creatures in high relief, filling the field entirely. Six inlays of responsibly sourced New Zealand abalone shell are set around the upper arc, their iridescent blue-green tones providing vivid contrast against the .9999 fine gold surface. The inscription CANADA is incused along the lower rim, with the engraver's initials JH present in the design. |

| Additional information |
The Royal Canadian Mint has produced oversized kilo-class and beyond gold issues for decades, but the 10-kilogram range places this firmly among the most ambitious bullion-adjacent collector pieces in Canadian minting history. The abalone inlay sourcing from New Zealand reflects a supply chain decision that has no Canadian precedent in crown-issued coinage.
At a face value of $100,000 CAD, this is legal tender — technically.
