| Additional information |
Canada's coat of arms has appeared on official coinage since Confederation, but the specific version rendered here reflects heraldic revisions formalized in 1994, when the arms were updated to correct longstanding inaccuracies in how the supporters and compartment had been depicted for decades. The 58.33% gold alloy — commercially designated 14-karat — was the RCM's standard for this bullion-adjacent collector series, chosen to keep production costs viable at the $300 face denomination without sacrificing the legal tender status that pure-gold issues carry at far higher premiums.
Mintage for this issue was capped at 1,000 pieces worldwide.
