| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a richly detailed scene commemorating Canada's coal mining heritage, engraved by Christie Paquet. At centre, a helmeted miner wearing a lamp on his headgear is depicted in a stooped, straining posture as he pushes a heavily laden wooden ore cart along rails within a timbered mine shaft. The cart is filled with coloured black coal applied by selective painting, providing a vivid chromatic contrast against the polished gold field. The surrounding rock face and timber pit props are rendered with exceptional sculptural relief, evoking the subterranean working environment. The denomination '200 DOLLARS' curves along the upper legend, 'CANADA' is inscribed along the lower border, the date '2009' appears to the left field, and the engraver's initials 'JM' are visible to the lower right. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Part of the Royal Canadian Mint's ongoing "Trade and Commerce" gold series, this issue commemorates coal mining at a moment when the industry had already passed its peak in Canadian economic life. The Cape Breton coalfields, which once fueled both the country's steel industry and bitter labor disputes — including the 1925 strike that dragged on for over a year and left mining families dependent on relief — had largely shuttered by the time this coin was struck.
The 22-karat alloy with a silver component rather than the more common copper mix gives these pieces a slightly warmer hue than standard crown gold.
