The "Canada of Today" kilo was the Royal Canadian Mint's first one-kilogram pure gold coin offered directly to the public as a bullion collectible, building on the attention generated by their 100-kilogram million-dollar piece introduced in 2007. Mintage was capped at 20 pieces worldwide.
The .9999 fineness — four nines — was itself a marketing and technical achievement the RCM had pioneered, and this coin was among the earliest large-format pieces to carry that standard consistently through a casting of this mass.
